A Palestinian journalist passed away on Wednesday after succumbing to wounds he sustained after being shot by Israeli forces while covering Gaza border protests on April 13. The Gaza health ministry announced Ahmed Abu Hussein, 25, had died after receiving treatment inside Israel, which the Sheba hospital near Tel Aviv confirmed. He was wounded in the abdomen near Jebaliya, in the northern Gaza Strip. He was later transferred to a Palestinian hospital in the West Bank, and then to the Israeli hospital, where he died. His brother Diaa told AFP they were preparing to transfer the body to Gaza for his funeral. Abu Hussein worked for Radio Shaab, a well-known radio station seen as close to the left-wing Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) party, as well as being a photographer for a local news agency. The family said the body was expected to cross from Israel late Wednesday, with the funeral to be held on Thursday. Images from the day appear to show him wearing a press helmet in the moments after he was shot. The Israeli army did not immediately comment on the incident. The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate said in a statement it held the Israeli authorities "fully responsible for this crime" and called for prosecutions. Abu Hussein is the second journalist to have been killed since protests broke out on March 30 after photographer Yasser Murtaja was killed on April 6 while covering the protests. Israel claimed he was a Hamas member, but provided no evidence. His family has denied the claim. Murtaja had recently been hired by a Norwegian advocacy group and had also been screened by the US government before his company received a USAID grant. After his death, the Israeli military said it does not intentionally target journalists and that it would look into the circumstances of the shooting. Abu Husseins death brought the toll of Palestinians in Gaza killed by Israeli fire since March 30 to 41. Most of the Palestinians killed by Israel since the start of "March of Return" protests on March 30 were shot by snipers on the border, while a few others were killed by Israeli artillery or air strikes. No Israelis have been injured. The deaths have led to calls for investigation from the United Nations, European Union and others but these have been rejected by Israel. The Israeli army says its troops only open fire in self-defense or to stop protesters attempting to breach the barrier separating the territory from Israel. The return march protests are calling for millions of Palestinians to be allowed to return to their historic homes, that are now inside Israel.
