Second Gazan teen succumbs to wounds after being shot during Land Day protests

A Palestinian teenager was killed by Israeli fire in the border region between Israel and the Gaza Strip near Khan Younis, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.

Tamer Abu Khair, 17, was hit by an Israeli bullet in the chest and subsequently died, the ministry says.

A total of three Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire on Saturday, the ministry adds. The first casualty took place before the protests began.
