Israeli forces kill 1, injure 47 during Gaza rally

GAZA CITY, Palestine

A Palestinian demonstrator was martyred and dozens injured by Israeli army gunfire in Friday’s anti-occupation protests on the Gaza-Israel buffer zone, the Palestinian Health Ministry said.

In a statement, the ministry in Gaza confirmed the casualties including four medics and two journalists.

More than 250 Palestinian demonstrators have been killed by Israeli army gunfire since Palestinians began holding regular demonstrations along the Gaza-Israel buffer zone in March of last year.

Demonstrators demand the right of Palestinian refugees to return to their homes 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 12-year blockade of the Gaza Strip, which has gutted the coastal enclave’s economy and deprived its roughly two million inhabitants of many basic commodities.
