GAZA, Tuesday, January 29, 2019 (WAFA) – A Palestinian succumbed to critical wounds he sustained last Friday after being shot with a tear gas canister fired by Israeli forces to the east of al-Buriej refugee camp, in the central Gaza Strip, said sources.

Samir al-Nabaheen, 47, was shot by with a tear gas canister in the face last Friday as Israeli forces attacked the ‘Great March of Return’ protests at Gaza-Israel border.

He was rushed to Dar al-Shifa hospital, west of Gaza city, where he was being treated for critical injuries, until he was pronounced dead today.
