Three Palestinians martyred from Israeli gunfire wounds sustained during Gaza rally

Three Palestinians who were critically wounded by Zionist forces army gunfire nearly a week ago during an anti-occupation protest along the border between the besieged Gaza Strip and occupied territories have succumbed to their injuries.

According to reports, the Gaza Ministry of Health announced in a statement that 58-year-old Moein al-Saai, a resident of al-Shati refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip, sustained grave gunshot wounds east of Gaza City last Monday.

The statement added that Mohammed Mazen al-Ayyan, 20, died in al-Quds Hospital on Saturday morning after doctors and medical staff could not save his life. He had been shot and wounded east of al-Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip.

The third Palestinian identified as Ahmad Abu Samareh, 21, died on Saturday from the wounds he sustained in the Monday clashes.    

At least 64 Palestinians were martyred and more than 2,700 others wounded near the Gaza fence on the eve of the 70th anniversary of Nakba Day (Day of Catastrophe), which coincided this year with the relocation of the US embassy from Tel Aviv to al-Quds.
