Gaza: Thousands Gather for Funeral of Child Killed by Israeli Sniper During Protests
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Gaza, thousands of Palestinians gathered Saturday for a funeral
procession for Yasser Abu al-Naja, a child shot and killed by an Israeli
sniper during Friday protests near the separation fence with Israel.
Israeli soldiers have killed at least 25 Palestinian children so far
this year; 11 of the children were shot by Israeli snipers in the head
or neck. In total, Israeli soldiers have killed at least 136
Palestinians and wounded over 14,000 more since the Palestinians'
nonviolent Great March of Return protests began on March 30.
