The ministry said in a terse statement that a 26-year-old youth was killed after a ZOF sniper shot him in the abdomen.

Thousands of Palestinian youths protested at five border points in the Gaza Strip on Thursday night, demanding an end to the siege on Gaza. 

ZOF soldiers used live and rubber bullets in addition to teargas canisters to suppress the protests and targeted the media teams who were covering the event. (ILKHA)
