Israeli Forces Shot Dead Gazan Medic Armed with "Bandages & Surgical Masks"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Israeli forces shot dead two Palestinians during protests in Gaza on
Friday. Three hundred and seven Palestinians were injured. The dead
included a 22-year-old medic named Abdullah al-Qatati, who was shot in
the chest while treating another Palestinian man who had been fatally
wounded. Al-Qatati became the third medic to be shot dead in Gaza since
the Great March of Return protests began in March. One of al-Qatati's
colleagues, said, "Yes, Abdullah was armed-he was armed with bandages
and surgical masks."
