Alwaght- At least four people have been killed when Israeli regime attacked Palestinian protesters in besieged Gaza Strip.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health released a statement saying that between Friday afternoon, when large clashes erupted along the border areas with Israeli regime, and early Saturday morning, when Israeli airstrikes targeted alleged Hamas military posts, four Palestinians had been killed, Palestinian Ma'an news agency reported.
In the southern Gaza Strip district of Khan Younis, 30-year-old Mahmoud al-Masri was shot and killed by Israeli forces during clashes along the border.
Hundreds of Palestinians had taken to the “buffer zone” near the border with Israeli regime on the “Day of Rage,” following calls by Hamas and other Palestinian factions to protest against and clash with Israeli forces in response to US President Donald Trump’s Wednesday announcement that he was recognizing al-Quds (Jerusalem) as the capital of Israeli regime.
Meanwhile, 54-year-old Maher Atallah succumbed to his wounds on Friday evening, after he was shot by Israeli forces near protests in northern Gaza.
Early Saturday morning, before dawn, two Palestinian fighters of Hamas’ military wing, the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, were killed in Israeli strikes.
Locals identified the two as Abdullah al-Attal, 28, from the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood and Muhammad al-Safadi, 30, from the al-Daraj neighborhood in Gaza City.
According to the ‘Gazan ministry of health’, 19 people are currently being treated in hospital as a result of injuries, sustained from the latest series of Israeli airstrikes. A six-month-old child was also seriously injured in the airstrike.
