(AhlulBayt News Agency) - Israeli soldiers shot, on Monday at noon, a young Palestinian man near the Great Return Camp, east of Gaza city, causing a serious injury.
Medical sources in Gaza said the Palestinian was rushed to the Shifa Medical Center, in Gaza city, before he was admitted to surgery, after suffering severe wounds.
The young man, identified as Sabri Ahmad Abu Khader, 24, was shot after the soldiers fired live rounds targeting protesters, east of Gaza city.
ٍٍSabri was a newlywed young man, who got married only five months ago. He was shot near Karni Crossing, east of Gaza city.
Israeli sources said some protesters continued to launch burning kites across the border fence, causing a new fire near Kissufim military base, in southern Gaza.
In related news, the Israeli army claimed that its soldiers observed two Palestinians, “who tried to breach the border fence,” and added that they carried explosives, which detonated while they were running back to Gaza, apparently wounding them.
Several youths had arrived on Monday morning to the return camp in eastern Gaza City to protest as part of the "Great March of Return" before Israeli forces deployed at the border opened fire at them.
The weeks-long civilian protest was initially planned to end on May 15, the 70th anniversary of the Nakba, or “catastrophe,” when over 750,000 Palestinians were forcibly expelled from their homes and made refugees with the establishment of Israel in 1948.
