At 4:10pm on Tuesday, 3 April 2018, Israeli forces located on the southeastern borders of Burij refugee camp in Middle Area governorate opened fire and launched tear-gas canisters at tens of protesters joining the “Great Return March” demonstration near the eastern borders. The demonstration has been called for by a national committee of Palestinian factions to mark Land Day. During Israeli shooting, one protester, Ahmad Amr Arafa, 25-year old resident of Deir Al Balah, received a bullet that pierced his back through his chest. He was ambulanced by the Red Crescent Society to Shuhada Al Aqsa hospital, where upon his arrival doctors announced his death.
