Gaza: Mourners Gather for Funeral of 4-Year-Old Killed by Israeli Forces
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile in Gaza, hundreds of Palestinians attended a funeral Wednesday
for a 4-year-old boy who died after being hit by Israeli shrapnel. Ahmed
Abu Abed was injured while attending the Great March of Return protest
along with his father, Yasser, who was shot during the demonstration.

Yasser Abu Abed: "We were 300 meters away. They were shooting, and two
were injured before I was. Then an explosion happened in front of us.
After that, I got injured. Then my son did. And the people removed him
from the area and then removed me."

More than 195 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces since the
Great March of Return rallies began.
