      Palestinian medical sources have reported that Israeli soldiers killed, on Tuesday evening, a young man east of the al-Boreij refugee camp, in central Gaza Strip.

      The sources said Ahmad Omar Arafa, 26, died from serious wounds at the Al-Aqsa Hospital, in Deir al-Balah, in central Gaza.

      They added that Arafa was shot with a live round in the chest, after the soldiers attacked dozens of Palestinian protesters, east of the al-Boreij refugee camp.
