Israeli Troops Shoot Dead Three Palestinians in Gaza

HeadlineMay 07, 2018

On Sunday, Israeli forces shot dead three Palestinians near the border between Gaza and Israel. Israel has now killed at least 43 Palestinians since protests began along the border in late March. More than 7,000 Palestinians have been wounded during that time. Meanwhile, Palestinians living in Israel staged a protest at the Erez crossing on Friday. Ahmad Tibi is head of the Arab Joint List parliamentary faction in the Israeli Knesset.

Ahmad Tibi: “We are here to demonstrate against the killing of civilians, demonstrators in Gaza, nonviolent Palestinians who are demonstrating against the siege, demanding and asking for return.”
