Gaza Ministry of Health reported that Mohammed al-Jahjouh, 16, Maher Yasin, a 40-year-old disabled man, and Abdulaziz Abu Shari'a, 28, were martyred of live bullet wounds.

Terror gangs' gunfire and teargas canisters injured at least 40 Palestinians, including two journalists and four paramedics.

Hundreds of Palestinians marched on the 39th Friday of the Great March of Return along the border fence between the Gaza Strip and the 1948 occupied Palestinian territories.

The Higher National Committee for the Great March of Return and Breaking the Siege earlier in the week called on the Palestinians in Gaza to take part in Friday's protests and show solidarity with the Palestinian people in the West Bank.

The committee released a statement praising the latest anti-occupation operations and the sacrifices made by the West Bank Palestinians and calling for escalating all forms of resistance against the occupation.

The committee stressed that the Great March of Return will maintain its popular and peaceful character and will continue until its main objectives are achieved, particularly breaking the 13-year-long Gaza blockade.

Since the start of Gaza border protests on 30 March, the zionist occupation forces have martyred 239 Palestinians, including 44 children and 5 women, and injured 25,700.
