<p>At least one Palestinian man was killed and 156 others
injured, by live bullets or sustained suffocation from
teargas inhalation, on Friday, as Israeli forces
continued to crack down on the Great March of Return
protests at Gaza-Israel border, according to the
Ministry of Health.</p>
<p>The forces fired live bullets and rubber-coated steel
rounds at the protesters who gathered at many
encampments along the border, killing Karim
Abul-Fatayer, 30, and injuring 156 other protesters,
WAFA reported.</p>
<p>More than 169 Palestinians have been killed and 17,500
others injured since the outbreak of the Gaza border
protests on March 30. The protests call for ending the
12-year-long Israeli blockade of Gaza and for the right
of return of the refugees.</p>
<p>Most of the casualties occurred on May 14, when Israeli
forces attacked Palestinian protesters marking the 70th
anniversary of Israel’s occupation of historical
Palestine and the ensuing ethnic cleansing of half a
million Palestinian refugees.</p>
