Israeli forces shot and killed a Palestinian in the Gaza Strip on Friday during clashes along the border, the enclave’s health ministry said. Salame Abu Jamaa, 23, was shot in the head during a protest east of Khan Yunis, health ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra said.The Israeli Army confirmed they had shot a suspect, saying they res-ponded after Palestini-ans tried to breach the buffer zone between Gaza and Israel.  
“The forces called the perpetrators to halt, followed by warning shots in the air, and auto rubber Manufacturers upon the suspects’ continued assault, forces fired toward a main instigator, confirming a hit,” a spokeswoman said.Seventy-three Palestin-ians, including alleged attackers, and an Arab-Israeli have been killed since a wave of violence began on October 1. Nine Israelis have died. The unrest and attacks began in and around Jerusalem and the West Bank, but later spread to Gaza, hit by three wars with Israel since 2008 and where Palestinians have prote-sted against Israel’s ong-oing blockade of the enclave. There were also sporadic clashes in the city of Hebron on Friday following the weekly pray-ers, where one protester was wounded in the head by a rubber bullet.
