Bilal Mustafa Kahafaja, 17
One Palestinian was killed and some 400 others were injured by Israeli forces during the 24th Friday of "The Great March of Return," across the besieged Gaza Strip.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza confirmed that a minor was killed by an Israeli live bullet in the chest near the return camps of eastern Gaza City.
The killed minor was identified as Bilal Mustafa Khufaja, 17, from the Tal al-Sultan neighborhood of western Rafah City in the southern Gaza Strip.
The ministry added that at least 395 Palestinians were injured; 147 of whom were transferred to hospitals for treatment including 100 injuries with live fire.
Thirty-five of the injured were children, 12 of whom sustained live fire injuries.
The ministry also said that three paramedics and three journalists were among injuries.
The 24th Friday of "The Great March of Return" was considered the most violent since ceasefire talks between Palestinian factions and the Israeli army, under Egyptian sponsorship, as Israel used artillery and drones to suppress protests.
Palestinian youths were able to cross the security fence several time; they also took down an Israeli drone.
A Palestinian youth had succumbed, early Friday, to wounds he had sustained during previous protests at the eastern borders of the Gaza Strip.
"The Great March of Return" protests were launched on March 30th by thousands of Palestinian civilians in Gaza -- which has suffered from a decade-long Israeli siege -- who took to the borders to demand their right of return as refugees to their original homelands, now in present-day Israel.

Two Palestinian citizens were injured Friday by an Israeli airstrike east of Beit Hanoun city in the northern Gaza Strip.
The PIC reporter said that an Israeli drone fired a missile at a group of Palestinian youths in Beit Hanoun injuring two of them.
Hebrew media sources claimed that the attack targeted Palestinians who were trying to fly fire balloons toward Israeli settlements neighboring the Gaza Strip.
Palestinian youths in the Gaza Strip, since the start of the Great March of Return on 30th March, have launched hundreds of kites and balloons with flaming rags attached to their tails toward Israeli settlements and military sites adjacent to the coastal enclave.
These kites and balloons have so far burned thousands of dunums of settler farmlands, which caused Israel heavy financial losses.

Following months of non-stop torching of land in Gaza border communities due to launching of incendiary kites and balloons from the strip, local agricultural workers turn to ICC, accusing Palestinian terror group of deliberately setting fields in southern Israel ablaze.
A group of Israeli farmers is filing a war crimes complaint at the International Criminal Court in The Hague on Monday against Hamas over the torching of thousands of acres of farmland in recent months.
The farmers want prosecutors to investigate leaders of Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip, for allegedly issuing "orders" to Palestinians to breach the territory's frontier with Israel and having supporters deliberately set fire to fields in southern Israel.
"What they are trying to do is to burn us, not just our fields. It's a war crime and a crime against humanity," farmer Ofer Lieberman told Israeli Army Radio ahead of his arrival at The Hague.
In recent months, Hamas has led regular mass protests along the border that are partly aimed at lifting a decade-old Israeli-Egyptian blockade. Since the protests began in March, 125 protesters have been killed by Israeli fire. During that time, a Gaza sniper killed an Israeli soldier.
During and in between the demonstrations, protesters have launched incendiary kites and balloons into Israel, sparking fires that have destroyed forests, burned crops and killed livestock.
Israel initially struggled with how to cope with the burning devices and later began targeting their launchers.
Israel says it is defending its border against attempts by Hamas to infiltrate and carry out attacks.
