Funeral of Man Killed by Israel During Protest

Hundreds of Palestinians on Friday mourned the death of a man killed by Israeli gunfire Thursday night during a violent protest along the Israeli-Gaza Strip border.

Palestinian health officials said Ahmad Saleh, 26, was fatally shot near Jabaliya, in the northern Gaza Strip.

The protests were held at five locations, demanding an end to Israel's 14-year blockade of Gaza.

The territory's Hamas rulers have organized a series of protests over the past two weeks.
