RAMALLAH (Ma’an) — Two Palestinians were shot dead by Israeli forces late Thursday as over 10,000 marched from a Ramallah-area refugee camp toward Jerusalem in protest against Israel’s Gaza offensive, a Ma’an reporter at the scene said.
The slain Palestinians were identified as 19-year-old Mohammad al-Araj and 27-year-old Majd Sufyan , a Ma’an reporter at the scene said.
At least 108 Palestinians have been injured by Israeli fire during the march, at least 60 of them with live bullets.
Earlier, Palestinians marched from al-Amari refugee camp toward Qalandia checkpoint, a militarized crossing point between Ramallah and Jerusalem through Israel’s separation wall.
Soldiers shot live fire and rubber-coated steel bullets into the crowd, in addition to tear gas.
Protesters set tires on fire and threw rocks and empty bottles at the checkpoint.
