Six Palestinians martyred, 112 injured by Zionost forces

At least six Palestinians have been martyred and 112 others injured by Zionist forces during anti-occupation protests at the border of the besieged Gaza Strip with the occupied territories.

The Gaza Health Ministry said Israeli forces killed six Palestinians on Friday, four of them east of al-Bureij refugee camp.

Ashraf al-Qidra, a spokesman for the ministry, identified the victims who lost their lives east of al-Bureij as Ahmed al-Tawil, Muhammad Ismail, Abdullah al-Dagham, all in their twenties, as well as the 17-year-old Ahmed Abu Naim.

Afifi Atta, 18, was also among the protesters martyred on Friday, the spokesman added.  

According to the report, 112 Palestinians, including children and females, were wounded during the clashes, most of them with live fire.

Among those wounded, a girl was critically injured while five other people were in serious condition.

Tensions have been running high near the fence since March 30, which marked the start of a series of protests dubbed “The Great March of Return.” Palestinian protesters demand the right to return for those driven out of their homeland.

More than 190 Palestinians have so far been martyred and over 20,000 others wounded in the renewed Gaza clashes, according to the latest figures released by the Gaza Health Ministry.
