Gaza, MINA – A Palestinian youth was killed by Israeli fire at the Gaza fence early Saturday, hours before mass protests planned to commemorate the year of Great March of Return and Palestinian Land Day.
The Health Ministry in Gaza said Mohammed Saad (20) died after his head was hit by shrapnel fired by Israeli soldiers east of Gaza City.
Protesters at the location said Saad took part in a nightly demonstration ahead of a massive demonstration scheduled for Saturday afternoon, the Press TV reported.
