Majid Aqeel, 26, succumbed to his wounds more than two months after being shot in northern Gaza during mass protests along the border on May 14. The protests, which were against the controversial opening of the US embassy in Jerusalem on the same day, were the peak of months of border demonstrations. At least 63 Palestinians were killed on May 14, making it the most bloody day in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict since a 2014 war. At least 150 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire since protests broke out on March 30 against Israel’s blockade of the Gaza Strip and calling for Gazans to be allowed to return to their historic homeland, now inside Israel. One Israeli soldier was shot dead near the border on July 20, sparking fierce retaliatory strikes.
