The Israeli military said Sunday it has opened an investigation into the fatal shooting of a paraplegic Palestinian man who was shot in the head during a violent demonstration in the Gaza Strip last week. Violence broke out in several flashpoints and erupted again on Friday, including along the Gaza border fence, where Abu Thraya was killed. The Israeli military said thousands of protesters were rolling burning tires and throwing stones at soldiers in separate locations along the fence. Abu Thraya lost his legs in an Israeli airstrike during a 2008 war between Israel and Hamas. Abu Thraya, a fisherman before his injury, participated in several border demonstrations following Trump's announcement.
