Alwaght- Israeli regime forces have killed three more Palestinians and injured at least 611 on Friday as Tel Aviv continues cracking down on thousands of protesters participating in the "March of Return" near Gaza’s border with occupied territories for the fifth week in a row.
At least 45 Palestinians were killed and over 5,600 others injured by the Israeli occupation forces since the start of the Great March of Return peace protests on March 30 at besieged Gaza Strip.
Of the injured, 2,596 people were hospitalized in government hospitals, 773 in nongovernment hospitals and the rest were treated in the field. Of those in government hospitals, 1,499 were hit by live ammunition, 107 by sponge-tipped bullets, 408 suffered gas inhalation and 582 suffered other injuries; 2,142 were adults and 454 were minors.
The list of injured Palestinians also included 592 children and 192 women and girls.
227 protesters were shot in their necks or heads, 440 in their upper body, 115 in their backs and chests, 142 in their abdomens or pelvis, and another 1,704 in their lower limbs.
The Palestinian Great March of Return peaceful protests," will last until May 15, which coincides with the 70th anniversary of Nakba Day (Day of Catastrophe) on which Israel was created.
Every year on May 15, Palestinians all over the world hold demonstrations to commemorate Nakba Day, which marks the anniversary of the forcible eviction of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from their homeland by Zionist in 1948.
More than 760,000 Palestinians - now estimated to number nearly five million with their descendants - were driven out of their homes on May 14, 1948.
Since 1948, when the fake Israeli entity was created, it has denied Palestinian refugees the right to return, despite UN resolutions and international law that upholds people’s right to return to their homelands.
These year’s Land Day demonstrations come at a time when Palestinian anger is already high over Trump's decision in December 2017 to recognize al-Quds (Jerusalem) as Israeli regime capital.
