Israeli forces shot dead a Palestinian woman during protests along the Gaza border on Friday, the health ministry in the Hamas-run enclave said.
Spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra told AFP the woman was shot in the head east of Gaza City. Qudra named her as Amal al-Taramsi, 43, saying she was the third woman to die in months of clashes that have seen at least 241 Palestinians killed.
An AFP journalist said several thousand protesters gathered east of Gaza City, with stronger clashes than in recent weeks. Protesters tried to destroy a barbed wire fence near the border and Israeli forces responded with gunfire and teargas. At least 25 other Palestinians received gunshot wounds, Qudra said in a statement.
At least once a week since March, Palestinians have taken part in protests. page 7
