Palestinians bury teen killed by Israeli troops during Gaza protests
Palestinians have held a funeral procession for a 14-year old shot and killed by Israeli forces during protests along the border with Israel.
Israeli forces shot and killed two Palestinian teenagers during protests along the Gaza-Israel border on Friday, Palestinian health officials said.
They named the dead as Khaled Al-Rabai, 14, and Ali Al-Ashqar, 17. Seventy protesters were wounded, 38 of them by live fire, medical officials said.
Protesters have staged 18 months of weekly demonstrations dubbed the "Great March of Return," calling for an end to a blockade imposed on Gaza by Israel, and for Palestinians to have the right to return to land from which their families fled or were forced to flee during Israel's creation in 1948.
An Israeli military spokesman said troops guarding the border on Friday were faced with more than 6,000 demonstrators at several points along the fence, some hurling explosive devices and firebombs and that Israeli forces responded with riot dispersal measures.
More than 300 Palestinians have been killed since the protests began in March 2018, Gaza medical officials say.
