KHAN YOUNES, June 2, 2018 (WAFA) – Paramedic Razan Ashraf Najjar, 21, who was shot dead by Israeli forces at Gaza border on Friday, was laid to rest in Khan Younes, in southern Gaza Strip, following a funeral procession attended by thousands of angry mourners on Saturday.

Thousands of mourners attended Najjar‘s funeral procession in Khan Younes. They waved flags of Palestine and chanted slogans calling for the Israeli perpetrators to be brought to justice.

Najjar was shot in the chest and killed by Israeli snipers while she was providing first aid to the wounded at the border fence east of Khan Younes, in southern Gaza Strip, on Friday evening.

According to witnesses, she was 100 meters away from the Gaza-Israel border fence providing first aid to the wounded protesters when all of a sudden she was targeted by an Israeli sniper’s gunfire despite wearing a clearly visible white coat. Najjar was seriously hit by a bullet in her back that penetrated her heart, before she died of her wounds a couple of minutes later.
