A Palestinian was killed and another wounded on Friday by the Israeli army on the eastern border between the Gaza Strip and Israel.

A Palestinian Health Ministry spokesman in Gaza, Ashraf Al-Qidra, said that 16-year-old Palestinian Fahad Mohammad Walid Al-Astal was shot dead by the Israeli occupation forces.

This came despite the announcement of the weekly return marches in Gaza to cancel the planned protests today near the fence with Israel for the third week in a row, but a number of young people gathered in the place.

The return marches said that the cancellation of the protests was due to the Israeli "threat" to target Palestinian demonstrators, which is not linked to any understandings of the truce.

This is the first time that the three-week return marches have been canceled since they began on March 30, 2018 to demand an end to the Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip for more than 12 years.

Netanyahu had threatened on Tuesday to launch a new attack on the Strip after the occupation army announced the launch of two rockets from the Gaza Strip towards Israeli settlements adjacent, without casualties.
