A Palestinian youth was killed by Israeli soldiers' gunfire to the east of Gaza on Thursday morning, the Palestinian health ministry said.
Spokesman for the ministry Ashraf al-Qidra said that the body of the Palestinian youth was transferred to the Shifa hospital, adding that his identity was not yet known.
Palestinian refugees have started a sit-in on the Gaza borders since last Friday 30/3/2018 as part of the Great March of Return event demanding their right to return to their homeland from where they were forcibly evacuated in 1948. Israeli army forces fire at those peaceful demonstrators live rounds and teargas canisters since then.
The number of Palestinians killed by Israeli gunfire since last Friday thus rose to 18 while about 1,500 others were injured.

Israeli soldiers shot, on Wednesday evening, at least six young men during protests on Palestinian lands, in several parts of the Gaza Strip.
The soldiers reported to the excessive use of force against dozens of protesters east of Rafah and Khan Younis, in the southern parts of the Gaza Strip, in addition to the al-Boreij refugee camp in central Gaza, the Sheja’eyya neighborhood in Gaza city, and Jabalia, in the northern part of the coastal region.
The protesters burnt tires, and raised Palestinian flags, before the soldiers started firing live rounds and dozens of gas bombs, wounding six persons, and causing many to suffer the effects of teargas inhalation.
The Palestinians also organized the longest chain of reading books in Rafah, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, as part of various activities held in the coastal region.

South Africa’s Minister of International Relations, Lindiwe Sisulu said in a statement on Wednesday: “The actions of the Israeli armed forces present yet another obstacle to a permanent resolution to the (Palestinian-Israeli) conflict."
The South African government, today, has called for an independent enquiry into the deaths of Palestinians on the Gaza border at Friday’s Great Return March.
“The South African government strongly condemns the latest act of violent aggression carried out by Israeli armed forces in Gaza, which has led to the deaths of about 17 Palestinian citizens, with scores of others reported injured,” read a statement issued by South Africa’s Department of International Relations and Co-operation (DIRCO) on Wednesday.
In the statement, the South African government reiterated its view that the Israeli government and its armed forces must end the siege of the Gaza Strip, “and bring to an end the violent and destructive incursions into Palestinian territories. South Africa maintains further that the violence in the Gaza Strip will stand in the way of rebuilding Palestinian institutions and infrastructure.”
South Africa’s Minister of International Relations, Lindiwe Sisulu, said: “The actions of the Israeli armed forces present yet another obstacle to a permanent resolution to the conflict, which must come in the form of two states, Palestine and Israel, existing side-by-side and in peace.”
“South Africa aligns itself with those members of the United Nations calling for an independent inquiry into the killings, with a view to holding to account those who are responsible,” concluded the statement.

More than a dozen major Israeli websites were the target of an anti-Israel cyberattack on Tuesday evening, seemingly in response to Israeli crimes against Gazan protesters last weekend.
Homepages for the municipality websites for Kfar Saba, Eilat, Herzliya and Acre were changed to display the message: “Jerusalem is the capital of Palestine” alongside an image of the deadly attack of Israeli forces against Palestinian unarmed protesters along the Gaza border over the weekend.
The pages also displayed the message “We will not forget our martyrs” in Arabic.
Websites for Israel’s national opera, a hospital in Hadera and the local council for the city of Gan Yavne were also targeted.
At least 18 Palestinian civilians have been deliberately killed and over 1,500 injured by Israeli gunfire while taking part in the peaceful Great March of Return in the Gaza Strip.

The Palestinian Special Commission to follow up Israeli crimes decided to prosecute Israel at the International Criminal Court (ICC) over killing unarmed Palestinian protesters during the first day of the Great Return March.
Secretary-General of the Palestinian Al-Haq Foundation, Shawan Jabarin, said that the Palestinian committee to oversee ICC cases is to exert its utmost efforts to prosecute the Israeli soldiers and military leaders over committing war crimes against unarmed civilians.
All documents, images and videos that prove the Israeli army’s crimes against unarmed Palestinian protesters to be submitted to the court, he underlined.
Jabarin denied Israeli allegations claiming that the killed protesters are members of Hamas Movement, confirming that they were unarmed civilians who were peacefully protesting without posing any threat to life.
