RAMALLAH, August 12, 2018 (WAFA) – News about the death of a Palestinian man after he succumbed to his wounds sustained during the Gaza border protests on Friday hit the front pages of the three Arabic Palestinian dailies on Sunday.

Al-Hayat al-Jadida, al-Quds and al-Ayyam said that Ahmad Jamal Abu Loly, 40, succumbed to his wounds after he was shot and critically injured by Israeli forces while participating in the Great March of Return protests to the east of the city of Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip.

The dailies added that an Israeli reconnaissance aircraft shelled three different locations to the east of Gaza on Saturday, injuring at least five people.

They also said that Israeli forces shot and injured four Palestinians during clashes that erupted after the forces raided the town of Beit Ummar, near Hebron city in southern West Bank.

Al-Hayat al-Jadida and al-Ayyam said President Mahmoud Abbas mourned the death of Khadija Arafat, the sister of the late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, who died on Saturday in Cairo at 86, emphasizing her nationalistic role during the Palestinian revolution led by her deceased brother.

The papers also reported that thousands attended an Arab-led mass march in Tel Aviv in protest against Israel’s recent racist national law that marginalizes Israel’s non-Jewish citizens.

Some of the protesters held the Palestinians flag and shouted the name of Palestine during the rally, according to the papers.

The three newspapers said that three Jordanian security officers were killed on Saturday in a raid on a terror cell in the city of Salt, northwest of Jordan’s capital Amman.

Al-Ayyam said that Pierre Krähenbühl, Commissioner General for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), is set to arrive in the Gaza Strip today in an attempt to solve the agency’s employees’ crisis.
