Israeli forces martyr 1 Palestinian, wound 42 others in Gaza
Israeli forces have martyred one Palestinian and injured at least 42 others during protests on the edge of the besieged Gaza Strip.
Gaza’s Health Ministry said a Palestinian had succumbed to the injuries he sustained during clashes east of Rafah City in southern Gaza on Friday.
The ministry added that 42 people, including women and children, had also been wounded during the 50th week of the “Great March of Return” protests.
Four medics and two journalists were among those injured, according to the report.
Tensions have been running high in Gaza since March 30, when the protests started. Palestinian protesters demand the right to return for those driven out of their homeland by Israeli aggression. They also demand a halt to Israel’s inhumane blockade of the Gaza Strip.
More than 260 Palestinians have so far been martyred and at least 26,000 others wounded in the Gaza clashes, according to the latest figures released by the Gazan Health Ministry.
