A Palestinian journalist shot by Israeli forces during clashes along the Gaza border has died, the health ministry in the Strip said on Saturday. Yasser Murtaja, a photographer with the Gaza-based Ain Media agency, was hit during clashes on Friday, the ministry said. The Gaza health ministry also announced the death of another man, 20-year-old Hamza Abdel Aal, saying he was shot east of Al-Bureij in central Gaza. Some Palestinians burned mounds of tyres and threw stones at Israeli soldiers over the border fence, who responded with tear gas and live fire. At least 491 Palestinians were injured by shooting, the health ministry said.
