GAZA CITY (Ma’an) — Israeli forces on Friday afternoon shot dead a Palestinian teenager during clashes east of al-Breij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, medical sources said.
Doctors identified him as 19-year-old Muhammad Abu Zayed and said he had been shot in the head. His body was taken to the al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah.
Medics added that at least 10 other Palestinian youths had been shot and wounded with live fire during the clashes.
An Israeli army spokesperson told Ma’an that “multiple riots” were taking place along the border fence between the Gaza Strip and Israel on Friday.
The spokesperson said that that a number of Palestinians had “breached the buffer zone” and “damaged” the fence in the central Gaza Strip before Israeli forces “called on them to halt and fired warning shots into the air.”
