In Israel and the Occupied Territories, Israeli forces killed a Palestinian teenager and wounded several others Tuesday in the Gaza Strip. The victims were taking part in a protest marking “Land Day,” which is held on the anniversary of the 1976 killing of six Palestinians protesting the Israeli confiscation of Arab land. An eyewitness said Israeli troops opened fire as the demonstrators approached the border wall separating Gaza from Israel.

Jihad Dabbagh: “We were demonstrating for Land Day. We approached the fence to hang the flags. Five (Israeli) soldiers showed up and started shooting. They shot twice. Then, when we were closer to the fence, they shot toward us.”
