Ahmed Yahya Attallah Yaghi, 25
A Palestinian citizen was killed and dozens others injured on Friday when the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) opened fire at the peaceful protesters participating in the Great March of Return near Gaza's eastern border.
Spokesman for Gaza Ministry of Health Ashraf al-Qedra said that Ahmad Yaghi, 25, was shot and killed by Israeli soldiers east of Gaza city.
Al-Qedra added that about 220 protesters were injured, 90 of whom by live ammunition.
The PIC reporter said that the IOF heavily fired live ammunition and teargas canisters at the protesters, while Palestinian youths set a number of car tires on fire in an effort to block the Israeli snipers' view.
In a related context, Hebrew media sources reported that fires flared up in 15 different locations in Israeli settlements neighboring the Gaza Strip by fire kites launched from the enclave.
The PIC reporter said that the Hamas delegation that newly arrived in the Gaza Strip took part in the border protests.
At least 150 Palestinians have been killed and over 16,000 injured by Israeli gunfire since the start of the Great March of Return on 30th March.
Israel forces shoot dead one, injure 120 Palestinian protesters
A Palestinian has been shot dead and 120 have been wounded after Israeli forces opened fire on thousands of peaceful demonstrators during a march in the besieged Gaza Strip.
The Gaza Health Ministry said that Ahmed Yaghi, 25, was killed by a sniper near the fence that separates the occupied territories from the east of Gaza City on Friday.
Health Ministry sources noted that 50 of the wounded Palestinian protesters were taken to nearby hospitals, while the rest were treated at the scene of the protests. Most of the casualties were due to the Israeli troops's use of live fire.
The Israeli military said some 8,000 people took part in the protests at five sites along the fence.
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.
The clashes in Gaza reached their peak on May 14, the eve of the 70th anniversary of the Nakba Day, or the Day of Catastrophe, which coincided this year with Washington's relocation of the US embassy from Tel Aviv to occupied Jerusalem al-Quds.
Israeli fire has taken the lives of at least 157 Palestinians since March 30.
Nearly 15,000 Palestinians have also sustained injuries, of whom at least 360 are reportedly in critical condition.
On June 13, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution, sponsored by Turkey and Algeria, condemning Israel for Palestinian civilian deaths in the Gaza Strip.
Gaza has been under Israeli siege since June 2007, causing a decline in living standards as well as unprecedented unemployment and poverty.
Israel has also launched several wars on the Palestinian sliver, the last of which began in early July 2014 and ended in late August the same year. The Israeli military aggression killed nearly 2,200 Palestinians and injured over 11,100 others.

US Ambassador David friedman visiting Ovadia family
David Friedman is the first US envoy to pay visit to terror victims’ families in West Bank, signalling possible change in US policy; ‘There are no words that can describe the evil and barbarity.’
United States Ambassador to Israel David Friedman paid a condolence visit Monday to the family of Yotam Ovadia who was killed in last week’s stabbing attack in Adam.
“My heart was broken upon seeing the tragic consequence of the killing of Yotam Ovadia,” Friedman said. “A young mother left alone to care for two toddlers, parents mourning their only son. There are no words that can describe the evil and barbarity of this act of terror.”
Friedman was joined in his visit by Chairman of the Yesha Council Hananel Dorani, Head of the Council's External Relations Division Oded Ravivi and Chairman of the Binyamin Regional Council Maoz Begun.
According to the Yesha Council (an umbrella organization of municipal councils of Jewish settlements in the West Bank), this is the first time that an American ambassador has paid an official visit to the West Bank to visit terror victims, signalling a change in official US policy vis-a-vis West Bank settlements.
“I want to express my appreciation to Ambassador Friedman who saw fit to visit the settlement of Adam in Binyamin and comfort the bereaved family,” said Dorani. “This sends an important message to the world regarding strengthening the positive forces and combating the negative forces in the region.
“Terrorism is the common enemy of us all and the firm struggle against it and against incitement is a common goal. This visit encourages and strengthens us in the war against terror. I hope the US government will continue to support Israel and Jewish settlements with brave friendship as the ambassador has shown today,” Dorani concluded.
