A day after Israeli soldiers opened fire on protesters in response to them lighting a tire on fire. Now I guess holding a camera while wearing a flack jacket displaying "PRESS" on the chest is still just too ambiguous.

A Palestinian journalist shot by Israeli forces during a mass demonstration along the Gaza border has died of his wounds.

Yaser Murtaja, a photographer with the Gaza-based Ain Media agency, was shot in the stomach in Khuza'a in the south of the Gaza Strip on Friday, according to the Palestinian health ministry.

Murtaja, 30, was hit despite wearing a blue flak jacket marked with the word "press", indicating he was a journalist.

Hosam Salem, a photographer at the scene of the incident, told Al Jazeera on Friday that he witnessed Murtaja drop to the ground after being shot by Israeli forces.

"Yaser was filming with his camera next to me when we heard the sound of gunfire," Salem said. "He just fell on the ground and said, 'I've been shot, I've been shot.'"

The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate said seven other reporters were injured in Friday's protest, in what they described as "deliberate crimes committed by the Israeli army".

In addition to Murtaja's death, the health ministry announced on Saturday the killing of another man, 20-year-old Hamza Abdel Aal, bringing the number of those killed during Friday's protests to nine.

A total of 31 Palestinians have now been shot dead since the start of the protests on March 30, when tens of thousands took to the border area with Israel, demanding the right of return for Palestinian refugees.

Live ammunition, rubber-coated steel bullet and tear gas fired at the rallies by Israeli soldiers, wounded at least 1,400 thus far.

The Palestinian health ministry reported that on Friday 491 people were injured by live ammunition after Israeli forces fired on protesters who had gathered near the Israeli border in the besieged Gaza Strip.

Friday's demonstration was the second in as many weeks of a planned, weeks-long sit-in dubbed the Great March of Return.

Its main message is to call for the right of return for Palestinian refugees who were driven from their homes in the territories taken over by Israel during the 1948 war, known to Arabs as the Nakba

Around 70 percent of Gaza's two million population were forced from their homes and now live in a territory of about 360sq km, which has been described as "the world's largest open-air prison".

Israel has drawn sharp criticism for its open-fire orders along the border, including its warnings that those approaching or trying to damage the fence would be targeted.

On March 31, a day after the first protest took place, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised Israel's troops for "guarding the country's borders".

"Well done to our soldiers," he wrote in a statement.

On April 1, Israeli Defence Minister Avigdor Lieberman rejected any independent investigation into the killings. "There will be no such thing here. We shall not cooperate with any commission of inquiry," he told Israeli public radio.

Lieberman warned on April 3 that protesters who approach the border between Gaza and Israel will put "their life in danger".

Every year something like this pops off, and yet nothing changes.

The Israelis seem fine with the status quo. The Palestinians leadership seems to be fine with sending their people into the IDF meat grinder, for clicks. Nothing ever changes.
 
Well given all the terror attack the confusion and people it was an accident is my guess. Even if it was not that isnt enough for me to turn and prefer palestina because there leaders is worse.
 
1) I guess the IDF were hard "pressed" for time...

2) this is certainly a " pressing" matter.

Anyone ?? Anyone?
 
Typical cowardice from Zionist terrorists.
 
As a staunch environmentalist, I strongly object to burning tires!
 
Another good outcome, they're stacking up this week.

No, you don't get to strap a vest on that says "press", pretend it means something then incite violence and invade a country without repercussions.

Play stupid games, make non-dipshits feel good.
 
You'd have to be retarded to think this "news outlet" is anything but a propaganda and laundering outlet for terrorists.

Are there really adults in the first world that are stupid enough to think these dipshits were part of what's recognized as actual press in non-shithole countries?

Good riddance.

No, it's important to be stupid and support palestine. Facts about the terrorist pieces of shit that make up the "country" will not be listened to. Israel = bad because Rachel Maddow said so. Actual facts and logic also = bad.

Learning about the actual atrocities = mean. Just stay stupid and Israel = bad because they actually make things in the world better.
 
Wow. The Jews really did do it.............
