In Gaza, hundreds of people gathered for the funeral of 12-year-old Shadi Abdel-Al, a Palestinian boy who died during Friday’s weekly nonviolent protests at the separation fence between Gaza and Israel. Gaza’s Health Ministry says the boy was killed by a blunt object that cracked open his skull, though it’s unclear whether he was killed by Israeli soldiers firing live ammunition, grenades or another object. Israeli soldiers shot and killed two other Palestinians during Friday’s protest. Palestinian health officials say Israeli soldiers have killed at least 186 Palestinians and wounded tens of thousands more since the Palestinians’ nonviolent Great March of Return began on March 30.
