GAZA (AA) - Israeli army martyred one protester and injured more than 100 others on Gaza-Israeli border on the 19th Friday of Palestine’s “Great Return March," the Palestine’s Health Ministry reported.

According to Ashraf al-Qidra, the ministry’s spokesman, 25-year-old Yahya Yagi was shot dead by Israeli army, while 120 others were injured by Israeli arm fires and tear gas canisters on eastern Gaza border.

Hamas’ spokesman Abdullatif al-Qanu stressed that the group’s decision to join the “right to return” march showed the Hamas’ alignment with Palestinian people.

On Thursday, the administration of Rafah Border Crossing said a delegation -- including leading group members of Hamas such as Saleh al-Arouri, Mousa Abu Marzouk, Izzat al-Rishq and Hussam Badran -- have returned to Gaza.
