A Palestinian young man was pronounced dead on Wednesday morning after he succumbed to a bullet injury he sustained during his participation in a protest rally that was staged a few days ago on the eastern border of Gaza City.

According to the health ministry in Gaza the martyr is 32-year-old Osama Khaled.

Last Saturday the Israeli occupation forces intensively fired live ammunition at young men and wounded many of them as they were rallying on the border to protest Israel’s inhumane blockade on Gaza.

At least 41 young protesters including kids were injured by Israeli gunfire during the border events.

A Palestinian young man was proclaimed dead at dawn Sunday after he succumbed to a bullet injury he sustained last Friday during his participation in a March of Return protest staged on the Gaza border.

According to a spokesman for the health ministry the young man is 29-year-old Osama Abu Khater. He died of a bullet injury in his abdomen during his presence in a border area east of Khan Younis.

After the death of Abu Khater the number of March of Return martyrs have risen to 138 citizens six of them still held by the Israeli occupation authority.
