RNA - According to local sources in Gaza, the man was shot by Israeli snipers during his participation in the march of return, which was taking place in synchronization with the transfer of the “American Embassy” from Tel Aviv to the Jerusalem, Middle East News reported.

Between March 30 and May 15, Palestinians in the Gaza Strip protested for seven consecutive weeks calling for the right of return for Palestinian refugees to the homes and villages they were forcibly expelled from by Zionist militias in 1948.

Since the start of the rallies, more than 120 Palestinian demonstrators have been killed and at least 13,000 injured along the fence in Gaza.

The Amnesty International has also stressed that the attacks on Palestinian protesters by Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip are “willful killings constituting war crimes", while the UN Human Rights Council has also decided to urgently dispatch an independent, international commission of inquiry to investigate all alleged violations and abuses which may amount to war crimes in the occupied Gaza Strip.

The violence was condemned by rights groups and most UN Security Council members, with even the US’ closest allies refusing to stand by Washington’s support for Tel Aviv.
