The Gaza Health Ministry said Israeli forces killed seven 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 killed on Friday, the spokesman added.

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.
The clashes in Gaza reached their peak on May 14, the eve of the 70th anniversary of 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.
More than 190 Palestinians have so far been killed and over 20,000 others wounded in the renewed Gaza clashes, according to the latest figures released by the Gaza Health Ministry.
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.

Israeli army kills 7 Palestinians in Gaza protests
At least 7 Palestinians were killed and dozens injured on Friday when the Israeli occupation forces heavily opened fire at the peaceful protesters taking part in the Great March of Return.
According to the spokesman for Gaza's Ministry of Health Ashraf al-Qedra, the martyrs were identified as Ahmad al-Tawil, 27, Mohammed Ismail, 29, Ahmad Abu Neim, 17, Abdullah al-Doghma, 25, Afifi Afifi, 18, Tamer Abu Ermana, 22, and Mohammed Abbas, 21.
Al-Qedra said that 192 protesters were injured, 140 of whom by live ammunition and three are in critical condition. There are 45 children, eight girls, and two paramedics among the injured.
Thousands of Palestinians marched in the afternoon along the border between the Gaza Strip and the 1948 occupied Palestinian territories to take part in the protests of the 29th Friday of the Great March of Return.
The PIC reporter said that the Israeli forces fired live ammunition and teargas canisters at the unarmed protesters, while Palestinian youths responded by burning dozens of car tires in an effort to block the view of Israeli snipers.
The Higher National Committee for the Great March of Return and Breaking the Siege earlier this week called on Palestinians in the Gaza Strip to participate in Friday's protests and commemorate the anniversary of al-Quds Intifada which broke out in October 2015.
The committee affirmed in a statement that the Great March of Return will continue until it achieves its goals.
Palestinians in the Gaza Strip since 30 March have been protesting on a daily basis along the border fence to call for lifting the blockade on the coastal enclave and allowing refugees to return to their lands from which they were expelled in 1948.
So far over 200 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli army and nearly 20,000 injured.

Wesam Shalaldeh, 28
Palestinian prisoner in Israeli jails Wesam Shalaldeh, 28, was announced dead in mysterious circumstances on Friday, according to the Palestinian Prisoner Society.
The Palestinian Prisoner Society said that no information has been revealed yet by the Israel Prison Service about Shaladeh's death in Ayalon jail in Ramla.
A father of four and a resident of the West Bank province of al-Khalil, Shalaldeh was arrested by the Israeli authorities in 2015 and sentenced to seven years in prison.
The Palestinian Prisoner Society held Israel fully responsible for the death of Shalaldeh, the fourth Palestinian detainee to die while in Israeli custody since the beginning of 2018.
In February, detainee Yaseen al-Saradih died in Jericho after he was beaten and shot from a short distance by the Israeli soldiers who had just arrested him.
The Jerusalemite prisoner Aziz Oweisat was violently beaten in May inside Israeli jails by Israel prison guards and died a few days later, while Mohammed al-Khatib died under torture on 18 September.
The number of Palestinians who died while in Israeli detention since 1967 has increased to 218.

Fares al-Sersawi, 12
At least two Palestinians were killed Friday by Israeli army gunfire -- and another 126 injured -- amid ongoing demonstrations along the Gaza-Israel buffer zone.
In a statement, Ashraf al-Qidra, a spokesman for Gaza’s Health Ministry, said that one of the two martyrs -- neither of whom has yet been identified -- was a minor.
According to al-Qidra, “dozens” of Palestinian protesters were affected by teargas while 126 others, including 10 women and 30 children, sustained gunshot injuries.
Seven of the injured persons were in serious condition, he added.
Demonstrators demand the “right of return” to their homes and villages in historical Palestine from which they were driven in 1948 to make way for the new state of Israel.
They also demand an end to Israel’s 11-year blockade of the Gaza Strip, which has gutted the coastal enclave’s economy and deprived its two million inhabitants of many basic commodities.
According to the Health Ministry, more than 190 Palestinians have been martyred -- and 20,000 others injured -- since the rallies first began on March 30.
