Israeli military forces invaded the Gaza Strip and shot 16-year old Hussein Abu Hamisha Friday during a protest against the ongoing Israeli assault on the al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, and the deadly and inhumane conditions of the Israeli siege of Gaza.
According to the Gazan Ministry of Health, 16-year old Hussein Abu Hamisha was participating in a protest near al-Boreij refugee camp in central Gaza when Israeli troops opened fire on the protesters, killing Hussein and wounding at least ten others.
The injured were all said to have received bullet wounds from live ammunition fired by the Israeli soldiers. Some were injured in the al-Boreij protest, while others were shot during protest marches in Jabaliya refugee camp, north of Gaza City. At least one was wounded in the Farrahin area of Khan Younis, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip.
The killed and injured from al-Boreij camp were taken to the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Dir al-Balah.
In addition to firing live ammunition into the crowd, Israeli forces also fired tear gas, according to local sources. Two Palestinian medics were among those who had to be hospitalized for tear gas inhalation.
In the other protests that took place in Gaza Friday, in “Nahal Oz”, east of Gaza City, a young man was shot in the foot and was taken to Shifa hospital west of the city to receive treatment, while others suffered from tear gas inhalation.
The soldiers fired on the crowd when the protesters got too close to the Annexation Wall constructed east of the city.
In the Khan Younis protest, the Israeli soldiers fired live bullets and tear gas, injuring at least two youths with live bullets in the feet. The two children were evacuated to Nasser Hospital in the city of Khan Younis, and their condition is moderate.
There were also violent confrontations between youth and the Israeli military, occupation forces near the Beit Hanoun crossing “Erez” in the northern Gaza Strip, during which the Israeli soldiers fired live bullets and tear gas at the crowd. No injuries were reported in Beit Hanoun
Abu Hamisha was the second Palestinian to be killed by Israeli forces on Friday. Earlier in the day, Israeli soldiers at the Gush Etzion military base south of Bethlehem killed a 24-year old Palestinian who they claimed was attempting to stab a soldier. No soldier was injured in the alleged attempt.
