In Gaza, hundreds of mourners gathered Saturday for the funeral of Palestinian journalist Yaser Murtaja, who was fatally shot by the Israeli army while covering protests along the Israel-Gaza border on Friday. Photos show the 30-year-old journalist was wearing a flak jacket clearly marked ”PRESS” at the time of the shooting. He’s one of at least nine Palestinians who were killed by the Israeli army during its brutal crackdown against Friday’s protests. The Palestinian Health Ministry says 31 people in total have been killed since Palestinians kicked off a 6-week-long nonviolent protest late last month, dubbed “The Great March of Return.” This is Murtaja’s brother, Mutasem, speaking after his brother’s killing.

Mutasem Murtaja: “I was next to him at the protest. Targeting the journalist was very clear, to the point that they targeted the two of us directly using snipers and gas bombs.”

Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman has drawn outrage for saying there are no innocent civilians in Gaza. On Sunday, Lieberman told Israel’s public radio, “There are no innocent people in the Gaza Strip. … Everyone’s connected to Hamas, everyone gets a salary from Hamas, and all the activists trying to challenge us and breach the border are Hamas military wing activists.” Both the International Criminal Court and the United Nations have rebuked Israel in recent days and warned its actions on the border with Gaza could violate international human rights conventions. We’ll have more on the protests in Gaza later in the broadcast.
