Six Palestinians were shot and killed by Israeli forces and at least 509
were injured on Friday during protests in the besieged Gaza Strip.
The Gaza health ministry identified four of the slain Palestinians as
14-year-old Mohammed Naif al-Houm, who was shot in the chest with a live
bullet; Iyad Khalil al-Shaaer, 18, who was killed east of Gaza City;
Mohammed Waleed Haniyeh, a 23-year old from the al-Shati refugee camp;
Mohammed Bassam Shakhsah, a 24-year old from east of Gaza City, and
Mohammed Ali Inchassy, a 18-year old from east of Khan Younis.
The fifth Palestinian who was killed, a 12-year old, has been identified as Naser Azmi Musbeh.
At least 509 were injured, three of them in serious condition. According
to Ashraf al-Qidra, the spokesperson of the health ministry, four
paramedics, four journalists and 90 children were injured by live
ammunition.

Thousands of Palestinians protested on Friday to demand the lift of the
11-year Israeli-blockade over Gaza and the return of Palestinian
refugees to their lands and towns in present-day Israel.
It has been six months since Palestinians in Gaza first began participating in the Great March of Return on 30 March - one of the biggest mass demonstrations since the Second Intifada, between 2000 and 2005.
Palestinians marched on Friday under the theme of "al-Aqsa Intifada Friday" and gathered in large numbers east of Khan Younis in
southern Gaza. Video footage of the protest showed demonstrators
removing large coils of barbed wire placed by Israeli forces on the Gaza
side of the fence separating the blockaded Palestinian enclave from
Israel.

In the occupied West Bank, local media reported that clashes with
Israeli soldiers took place in the village of Nahalin near Bethlehem, in
Ras Karkar in the Ramallah governorate, and in Kafr Qaddum in
Qalqiliya.
Israel said that lit Palestinian kites caused seven fires to crops in Israeli settlements.
Israeli forces and officials have denounced the use of flying devices by
Palestinian protesters - who counter that kites and balloons are the
only weapons at their disposal to fight against the occupation.
