Gaza City, Palestinian Territories: A Palestinian died after being shot by the Israeli military in the Gaza Strip Friday, the enclave’s health ministry said, the latest such incident in more than two weeks of clashes and attacks.
“One person died and 27 others were injured” in clashes at the Beit Hanoun (Erez) crossing in the north of the strip, ministry spokesman Ashraf Al-Qudra told AFP.
Violent protests that first erupted in annexed east Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank have spread to Gaza in recent days.

Red Cross transfers 8 Palestinians from Israeli detention to Gaza
- They were taken across the Karm Abu Salem border crossing to Shuhada Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir Al-Balah, where they were reunited with their families
LONDON: The International Committee of the Red Cross transferred eight Palestinians from Israeli detention to the Gaza Strip on Monday.
The organization took them across the Karm Abu Salem border crossing to Shuhada Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir Al-Balah and helped reunite them with their families.
The Red Cross has been unable to visit Palestinian detainees in Israeli detention centers since October 2023, as a result of which the fate and location of many detainees from Gaza were unknown, the Palestinian Wafa news agency reported.
The Red Cross said that according to the principles of international humanitarian law, detainees must be treated humanely, held in proper conditions and allowed to have contact with their families.
Israel is holding about 9,245 Palestinian prisoners in jails, including 358 held without charge or trial under administrative detention, according to Jerusalem-based rights group HaMoked.
