Palestinian injured in protests dies of wounds: ministry
Gaza City, Palestinian Territories, (MILLAT ONLINE):A Palestinian shot by Israeli forces on the Gaza border a week ago has succumbed to his wounds, the health ministry in the strip said Friday, ahead of expected new clashes.
Tha’er Rabaa, 30, was shot by Israeli forces during clashes near Jabalia in northern Gaza on March 30 and had been in critical condition since, the ministry said in a statement announcing his death.
It brings to 19 the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces during that day, the bloodiest since the 2014 war between Israel and Gaza’s rulers Hamas.
Tens of thousands of Gazans protested against Israeli occupation near the border in a mostly peaceful protest, with smaller numbers breaking forward and hurling rocks and rolling tires at Israeli troops.
