GAZA, Jan 19 (KUNA) -- A Palestinian man succumbed to death on Sunday as he was injured by Israel in the Great March of Return and Breaking the Siege along the Gaza border in 2018, Palestinian Health Ministry said.
Omar Al-Hajjar, 30, a northern Gaza national, was wounded by the Israeli occupation forces' bullets during the weekly peaceful marches on Gaza borders, the ministry added in a statement.
