On Tuesday evening, Israeli soldiers killed one Palestinian and injured eleven during processions near the perimeter fence along the eastern parts of the besieged Gaza Strip.

The Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza said the soldiers killed Yousef Salem Yousef Radwan, 25, from Bani Soheila town, east of Khan Younis, in the Gaza Strip’s southern part.

The Health Ministry added the soldiers killed Yousef after shooting him with a live round to the head and injured eleven Palestinians, including one who suffered life-threatening wounds.

Two Palestinians were rushed to the Shifa Hospital, west of Gaza City, and several others suffered the effects of tear gas inhalation.

In Jabalia, in northern Gaza, the soldiers shot a Palestinian with live fire east of the Abu Safiyya area, east of Jabalia, before he was rushed to the Indonesian Hospital in nearby Beit Lahia.

The soldiers also shot two Palestinians with live fire east of Khan Younis and east of Rafah in the southern parts of the Gaza Strip.

The Palestinians continued their processions on their land near the perimeter fence along the perimeter fence in the northeastern central eastern and southeastern parts of the coastal region, protesting the escalating Israeli violations, especially the constant attacks against the detainees, in addition to the assaults and invasions by Israeli soldiers and colonialist settlers into the Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem and the holy site’s surrounding areas.

On Tuesday evening, Israeli soldiers killed three Palestinians and injured at least thirty in the Jenin refugee camp in the northern West Bank governorate of Jenin.

The Health Ministry officially identified the slain Palestinians as Mahmoud Ali Nafe’ Saadi, 23, Mahmoud Khaled Ar’arawi, 24, and Rafat Omar Khamaisa, 22.

Palestinian Killed, Nine Wounded in Clashes With Israeli Army Along Gaza Border

Israel has barred entry to thousands of Palestinian laborers from the Gaza Strip after violent protests erupted along the border against far-right minister Itamar Ben-Gvir's intention to worsen the condition of Palestinian inmates in Israeli prisons, as well as other 'Israeli provocations'

A Palestinian man was shot dead and nine people were wounded by Israeli army gunfire during clashes at the Gaza border, the Palestinian Health Ministry reported on Tuesday.

According to the ministry, 25-year-old Yousef Raduan was killed when he was shot in the head.

Over the last week, dozens of Palestinians – burning tires and hurling explosive devices at Israeli soldiers – have streamed toward the fence separating Israel from Gaza in protest of far-right minister Itamar Ben-Gvir's decision to worsen the conditions of Palestinian inmates in Israeli prisons, and due to an increase in visits by nationalist Jewish activists to the contested Jerusalem holy site of Al Aqsa Mosque\Temple Mount.

“As long as these provocations continue, the protests will continue,” said Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qasem.

Following the outbreak of violence, Israel has barred entry to thousands of Palestinian laborers from the strip.

Dozens of people participated in clashes that erupted at two different locations at the Gaza border on Tuesday – near Gaza City and Khan Younis – using arson balloons and attempting to cross the border into Israel.

The string of protests, which have disrupted weeks of calm at the border, comes during a sensitive holiday season in Israel that began with the Jewish new year last week and will continue through the Sukkot festival next week.
