Palestinians hold funeral procession for teenager killed by Israeli forces

2^min

Palestinians held a funeral procession on Saturday (June 30) for a 14-year-old boy who was shot and killed by Israeli forces during protests along the Gaza border on Friday (June 29), Gaza health officials said.

Hundreds of people gathered in Khan Younis to carry the body of Yasser Abu Al-Naja to a mosque for a funeral prayer before burial.

Gaza medical officials said the boy, along with 24-year-old Mohammad Al-Hamayda were hit by live bullets. They added that four other men wounded by live fire were in critical condition.

The Israeli military said in a statement that troops had used “large amounts of riot dispersal means.”

In some cases, when the non-lethal means proved ineffective, live fire was used “in accordance with the standard operating procedures.”

It said thousands of Palestinians had “participated in extremely violent riots,” hurling a grenade and rocks at troops and the border fence and burning tyres.

The military said the reported death of the boy would be investigated and that legal action could be taken, if appropriate.

Gaza officials say Israeli troops have killed at least 135 people since the weekly protests began on March 30.

Palestinians say the protests are a popular outpouring of rage against Israel by refugees demanding the right to return to homes their families fled or were driven from on Israel's founding 70 years ago.
