Israel’s military has said the killing of a young Palestinian volunteer medic at a Gaza fence protest last week was unintentional and that only “a small number were fired” by its soldiers.
Razan al-Najjar, 20, was trying to help an injured protester near the border fence when she was fatally shot by Israeli soldiers witnesses have said.
According to the Gaza Health Ministry, she was the 119th Palestinian killed in the three-month-long Gaza fence protest campaign.
