Israeli Forces Fire on Gaza Protesters, Killing One and Injuring Dozens
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

In the Gaza Strip, a 28-year-old Palestinian man was killed and 40
people wounded Friday after Israeli troops opened fire on weekly
protests near the besieged territory's separation barrier with Israel. A
spokesperson for Gaza's health ministry said 22 people were shot with
live bullets. The latest killing brings the number of Palestinian
protesters killed in Gaza to 313 since protests began in March of 2018
under the banner of the Great March of Return.
