Palestinian said shot in Gaza border protests succumbs to wounds

A Palestinian shot in clashes with Israeli forces on the Gaza border succumbed to his wounds today, the health ministry in the Hamas-run enclave says.

Ahmed al-Assi, 21, was shot east of Khan Younis on June 8, a ministry statement says.

It says he was wounded in the head and had been in critical condition.

Since major border protests broke out on March 30, at least 130 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire, the majority of them members of terror groups, who Israel says were trying to perpetrate terror attacks under the cover of protests.
