TEHRAN (Defapress) – "Osama Khalil Abu Khater, 29-years-old, died of wounds to his stomach after being shot by the Israeli enemy east of Khan Yunis the day before yesterday," ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra said, AFP reported.

Palestinian sources said he was shot during a border clash.

At least 132 Palestinians have been killed in clashes since mass protests broke out along the Gaza border on March 30.

No Israelis have been killed.

The protests peaked on May 14 when at least 62 Palestinians were killed as thousands approached the heavily guarded border fence on the same day the United States moved its Israel embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem (al-Quds).
