Two Palestinians lost their lives on Friday as Israel used lethal force against Great March of Return protests along Gaza’s eastern perimeter.
One of those killed, Abdallah al-Qatati, 22, was a volunteer medic on duty at the time of his fatal injury in eastern Rafah, southern Gaza.
A photo of al-Qatati circulated on social media after his death:
The Israeli rights group B’Tselem found that medic Razan al-Najjar, killed on 1 June, was deliberately targetedby an Israeli sniper east of Khan Younis, also in southern Gaza.
Al-Najjar’s death came two weeks after the killing of Mousa Jaber Abu Hassanein, who like al-Najjar and al-Qatati, was wearing clothing identifying him as a medic when he was shot.
