Spokesman of the Health Ministry in Gaza, Ashraf al-Qedra, told reporters that Abdulla Abdel Aal, a 24-year-old from the southern Gaza Strip town of Rafah, died after he was shot by Israeli soldiers in his abdomen.

Meanwhile, 30 demonstrators were wounded by Israeli gunfire, including a field paramedic who was shot in the head and is in moderate condition, he added.

On Friday afternoon, hundreds of Palestinian demonstrators headed to the area between eastern Gaza and Israel in protest against the peace plan the United States will announce soon, better known as the "Deal of the Century."

The demonstrators joined the weekly anti-Israel rally, known as the Great March of Return, which has been going on since the end of March last year.

Earlier in the day, the Gaza Health Ministry said the Israeli army has killed 304 Palestinians and wounded 17,301 others including 3,544 children and 1,168 women, since the beginning of the weekly rally.
