His death brings the number of Palestinians who were killed by Israeli army fire since Friday, March 30th, to 18, including sixteen killed that day alone.
The Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) issued a statement mourning his death, and added that he was a member of its National Resistance Brigades.
In related news, the Israeli army said it will continue the implementation of shoot-to-kill orders against Palestinian protesters who approach the border fence, despite international condemnation.
Israel also refused an international investigation into its excessive use of force against the Palestinian protesters, and vowed harsher measures.

Army Kills A Palestinian Near Salfit
Israeli soldiers killed, on Tuesday morning, a young Palestinian man near the junction of Ariel illegal colony, north of Salfit, in northwestern West Bank.
The army initially claimed the Palestinian reportedly “attempted to ram soldiers and settlers with his car,” but later revealed that the driver was driving a stolen car, and escaping from private security guards.
Israeli daily Haaretz said the Palestinian the driving a stolen car, and that he was chased by a private security company.
It added that the Israeli police was not involved in the chase, and that it remains unclear whether the soldier, who shot and killed the driver, was aware of the chase.
The driver did not carry any weapons, and did not intend to ram the soldiers, or carry out any sort of attack.
The soldiers opened fire at the Palestinian driver, in his thirties, and seriously wounded him, when his car crashed into a bus stop.
Haaretz said the Palestinian was driving a car with an Israeli license plate and added that the army was trying to identify him.
It also said that the driver exited the car, and tried to escape on foot, when the soldiers shot him, and he later died from his serious wounds.
The Maan News Agency said, according to Israeli sources, the man might have been driving a stolen car, and tried to avoid escape when he saw the soldiers.
The army did not report any injuries among the soldiers or the colonialist settlers but said that the Palestinian was driving very fast when he approached the bus stop. It added that it was still investigating the incident.
Israeli Ynet News said the motive behind the incident was not immediately clear, but quoted the army saying the Palestinian driver crashed into the bus stop, “and attempted to escape.”

March of Return death toll raised to 18
A Palestinian young man on Monday succumbed to his wounds he as he participated in the largest non-violent demonstration to the east of Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip, raising the death toll to 18.
Spokesman for Health Ministry in Gaza Strip, Ashra Qudra, announced that Faris al-Raqib, 29, succumbed of his serious wounds he sustained last Friday after being shot in the stomach by Israeli snipers.
Approximately 1,500 other Palestinians were also wounded on Gaza borders, resulting in calls for an independent inquiry by the European Union and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.
On March 30, thousands of Palestinians had marched to the Gaza border at the start of a six-week protest, dubbed the Great March of Return marking the 42nd anniversary of Land Day.
The Land Day is of special significance to the Palestinians because it was the first time since 1948 that Palestinians in Israel organized a collective response to Israeli policies. It is marked not only by Palestinians within historical Palestine, but also by Palestinians all over the world.
This year will also mark 70 years of the Palestinian catastrophe, the Nakba, and the forced displacement of 750,000 Palestinians, whose descendants now number millions living as refugees abroad or in the occupied Palestinian territories.

Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman said, Sunday, that Israel will not hold any investigation, or cooperate with international inquiries, into the excessive use force against unarmed protesters in Gaza, Friday, leading to the death of sixteen Palestinians, in addition to hundreds of injuries.
Lieberman did not only refuse any investigation into the deadly Israeli military assault, but also said that Israel will not cooperate with any inquiry, including potential international investigation.
The Israeli official who lived in an colony in the occupied West Bank, even threatened stronger and more violent military measures against the Palestinian protesters, “especially if any of them try to cross the border fence.”
The Israeli official also echoed previous baseless allegations claiming that “%90 of the protesters, and their families, were paid by Hamas.”
He also attacked statements by the head of Meretz party Tamar Zandberg, who called on the army to investigate the excessive use of force and described the soldiers as trigger happy.
Furthermore, Lieberman said that Meretz Israeli left-wing party “represents the Palestinians, instead of serving Israel’s interests.”
Lieberman went on to claim that at least ten of the slain Palestinians were “members of Hamas,” and added that the soldiers “performed what was necessary and deserve a medal.”
He also alleged that Hamas “allotted 15 Million US Dollars for the processions,” and that “%90 of the protests were Hamas members, and their families, who are paid salaries.”
His statements came to justify the excessive use of force against nonviolent protesters, largely refugees displaced and expelled from their homes and lands when Israel was established in the historic Palestine in 1948.
The Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza said the soldiers killed 16 Palestinians during the processions, and injured 1479 others, on Friday and Saturday.
It added that 805 of the wounded Palestinian were shot with live fire, 154 with rubber-coated steel bullets, 425 suffered the effects of teargas inhalation and 95 suffered burns, cuts and bruises.
In the morning to noon hours of Sunday, the soldiers injured more than 100 Palestinians, many of them with live fire, and the rest suffered the effects of teargas inhalation.
