A young Palestinian man has died less than a week after suffering Israeli-inflicted gunshot wounds during an anti-occupation protest along the border between the blockaded Gaza Strip and the occupied territories.
The spokesman for the Gaza Ministry of Health, Ashraf al-Qidra, said in a statement that 30-year-old Ahmed Ghazi Abu Jebel, a resident of Shuja’iyya neighborhood of Gaza City, succumbed to his wounds at Shifa Hospital on Sunday evening.
Abu Jebel was shot and wounded during a “Great March of Return” protest northwest of Beit Lahia city last Tuesday as hundreds of people staged a demonstration to protest the Tel Aviv regime’s 12-year naval blockade against the Gaza Strip.
Nearly 250 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli occupation forces ever since anti-occupation protest rallies began in Gaza on March 30. Over 26,000 Palestinians have also sustained injuries.
