BREAKING: Second Palestinian killed in Gaza, health ministry says

A second Palestinian has been killed by Israeli forces during protests in Gaza today, the Gaza health ministry said around 4:30pm, identifying the slain Palestinian as Majdi Ramadan Shabat, who died in demonstrations taking place east of Gaza City.

The ministry did not immediately elaborate on how Shabat was killed.

Another demonstrator, 38-year-old Osama Khamis Qudeih, was killed earlier this afternoon after reportedly being shot in the neck.

Earlier today, before the demonstrations began, 30-year-old Thaer Rabaa succumbed to wounds sustained during last week's protests, technically putting Friday's toll at three dead.
