Gaza (QNN)- Israeli snipers on the separation barriers between Gaza and the occupied Palestinian land shot German author and journalist Jürgen Todenhöfer with a rubber bullet while participating in the peaceful Great Return March protests on Friday.

Jürgen Todenhöfer is a German author, journalist, politician, and executive. He is a former member of the Bundestag, who is known for his support for the Palestinians' rights. The Great Return March protests have started over one year ago in Gaza demanding the end of the Israeli siege on the enclave and the right of return. Israeli soldiers killed hundreds of peaceful protesters and injured thousands of them, including children, paramedics, and people with special needs claiming that they are dangerous. A report by the United Nations issued on the first anniversary of the protests confirmed that the protesters are peaceful and do not pose any threat.
