A Palestinian youth was killed and more than 60 others were injured, including 4 paramedics, as a result of the suppression of the Israeli occupation forces participating in the activities of the 76th Friday of the marches of return and breaking the siege in the eastern Gaza Strip.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip that the Israeli occupation forces shot dead Saher Othman (20 years) during protests against the fence, adding that 27 people were wounded by live bullets.

An Israeli army spokeswoman told Reuters that troops stationed along the border did not use live bullets, adding that participants in the demonstrations threw Molotov cocktails and explosives at the soldiers, she said.

Thousands of Palestinians participated in the activities of Friday "Al-Aqsa Intifada and Prisoners" to condemn plans to Judaize Al-Aqsa Mosque and the escalation of violations against Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons.

Since March 2018, there have been weekly demonstrations in the eastern Gaza Strip, with clashes demanding the lifting of Israel's blockade of the territory for more than a decade.

Since then, 300 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire, while eight Israelis have been killed.
