Osama, from Jabalia camp and has married lately, was injured more than 7 times with the Israeli gunfire during the “Great March of Return” which commenced on Land Day, on 30 March 2018.
On Saturday, Israeli forces, stationed inside military towers on the borders of Gaza, opened fire at and threw tear gas bombs at thousands of protesters near the separation fence in eastern Gaza.
At least 41 protesters, including one journalist and 51 children, were injured with rubber-coated metal bullets and tear gas bombs and live ammunition.
The peaceful protest on the borders was aimed at sending a message to the Israeli occupation that “we will never accept the continuation of the siege and the attacks on Al Aqsa mosque,” Hamas spokesperson said.
He also warned that the battle is still open and that “Jerusalem’s sword will not be sheathed.”
