Zionist Occupation Forces Kill Palestinian Nurse in Anti-Occupation Rally

International

A young Palestinian nurse has been killed when Israeli military forces opened fire on a group of protesters taking part in an anti-occupation rally near the border between the besieged Gaza Strip and occupied territories, according to Press TV.

Palestinian medical sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, said 21-year-old Razan Ashraf al-Najjar was attending to wounded Palestinian demonstrators east of Khan Yunis, located about 25 kilometers (15 miles) south of Gaza City, when Israeli troopers fired indiscriminate shots, Arabic-language Palestine al-Yawm news agency reported.

 Najjar was critically wounded as a result, and succumbed to her grave gunshot wounds shortly afterwards.

At least 120 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces since the “Great March of Return” began in Gaza Strip on March 30. Fourteen children are among the fallen Palestinians.

About 13,300 Palestinians also sustained injuries, of whom 300 are in a critical condition.

The occupied territories have witnessed new tensions ever since US President Donald Trump on December 6, 2017 announced Washington’s recognition of al-Quds as Israel’s “capital” and said the US would move its embassy to the city.

The dramatic decision triggered demonstrations in the occupied Palestinian territories and elsewhere in the world.

The status of  al-Quds is the thorniest issue in the decades-long Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
