BETHLEHEM (Ma’an) — A Palestinian man was shot dead by Israeli forces on the Gaza border on Tuesday, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, bringing the death toll in the besieged coastal enclave to 18 since massive protests began on Friday.
The ministry identified tha man as 25-year-old Ahmed Arafa , saying he was shot in the chest in the “buffer zone” area of the border, east of the Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip.
Arafa’s death marks the 18th Palestinian casualty since a mass demonstration known as the “Great March of Return” began on Friday, in which thousands of Palestinians demonstrated to demand their right of return to their original villages in what is now Israel.
