Hundreds of colleagues and friends have attended the funeral of Palestinian video journalist Yasser Murtaja, who was killed as he covered Friday’s mass border protests in the Gaza Strip.

Murtaja was shot despite wearing a flak jacket with clear press markings as he filmed protests in the Palestinian town of Khuzaa.

He was one of at least nine Palestinians killed by Israeli fire at various points along the border during the day. 31 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire in the past week.
