The PRC and Al-Qidra also reported tens of other Palestinian protesters suffered suffocation problems due to the heavy tear gas the Israeli occupation forces shot at them.

Palestinians have been staging Friday demonstrations since 6 December 2017, when the US President Donald Trump recognised Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

UN officials have pointed out that the Israeli occupation forces have been using lethal force to deter these protests, even though the demonstrators are on the Palestinian side of the border.
