The Israeli army has shot dead a Lebanese man who was demonstrating at the northern border with Lebanon in support of Palestinians facing bombardment in Gaza and imminent eviction in the occupied East Jerusalem neighbourhood of Sheikh Jarrah.
The man, identified by local media as Mohammed Tahan, 21, died from his wounds after the Israeli army had fired at dozens of protesters along the Israel-Lebanon border.
According to the report, the Israeli army said in a statement that they fired warning shots towards a number of rioters who were attempting to cross into Israeli territory.
Lebanese medical sources said that some injuries were sustained as a result of the Israeli army firing into the area where protesters had gathered in large numbers.
