The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) on Friday shot and killed four Palestinians, including a child, and injured more than 600 others as they continue to crack down the peaceful protests along the eastern border of the Gaza Strip.

The PIC field reporters identified the martyrs as 14-year-old Haitham al-Jamal, Ziad Bureim, 25, Imad Abu Darabi, 21, and Youssef Fassih, 29.

 

At least 618 Palestinians were also injured during the events.

 

Five journalists were among the injured including the correspondent of Radio Al-Aqsa Voice and the photographer of the Agence France-Presse, who was shot in his foot by IOF soldiers at the border to the east of Gaza City. 

 

On the other hand, Palestinian health ministry said that Palestinian ambulances and medical teams were directly targeted during the ongoing protests.

 

Since morning hours, Palestinians have gathered along the Gaza eastern borders for the 11th consecutive Friday to participate in ongoing rallies against Israel’s decades-long occupation.
