    GAZA CITY (Ma’an) — A Palestinian man who was injured by Israeli live fire during Friday’s “Great March of Return” succumbed to his wounds on Thursday at noon, while Palestinian medics recovered the body of a second Palestinian, who was reportedly killed by Israeli drone fire late Wednesday night.

    Medical sources told Ma’an that Shadi Hamdan al-Kashef , 34, from the southern Gaza Strip city of Rafah succumbed to a head injury he sustained with a live bullet during protests last Friday.

    Meanwhile, the Palestinian Ministry of Health announced that medical teams were able to recover the body of a slain Palestinian in northeaster Gaza, along the “buffer zone” area of the border.

    The man was reportedly killed by an Israeli drone late Wednesday near the border with Israel. His identity remained unknown.

    As of Thursday, the death toll in Gaza had reached 20 people, since “The Great March of Return” began on Friday, when Israeli forces heavily used live fire on civilian demonstrators, killing 16 Palestinians in a single day and injuring hundreds of others.
