Mourners attend the funeral of Palestinian Ahmed Saleh, who was shot dead by Israeli troops during night clashes the Israeli-Gaza border fence, at Jabalia refugee camp northern Gaza Strip. 0.1 SOUNDBITE (in Arabic) Mother of Ahmed. STORYLINE: A Palestinian young man was killed by Israeli soldiers on Thursday during clashes near the border area between eastern Gaza Strip and Israel, Palestinian medics said. The Palestinian health ministry, said in a statement that Ahmad Salleh, 26, was shot dead by Israeli soldiers in eastern Gaza Strip near the border with Israel. The statement said that 15 Palestinians, including five children, were injured by Israeli soldiers, adding that five of them were shot by live ammunition and 10 others suffered suffocation after inhaling tear gas. On Thursday night, eyewitnesses said that dozens of protestors, members of "the night disturbance unit" gathered along the border area between eastern Gaza Strip and Israel for the sixth consecutive day. Members of the unit have been demonstrating every night near the border with Israel to protest the continuation of an Israeli blockade that has been imposed on the impoverished coastal enclave for more than 14 years. The protestors usually burn tires, detonate homemade percussion grenades and clash with the Israeli soldiers, who usually fire shots to disperse them. The violent protests came just one day after Israel reopened the only commercial crossing of Kerem Shalom between Israel and the Gaza Strip and expanded the fishing area off the Gaza coast to 15 nautical miles. The Israeli media earlier reported that Israel also pumped potable water, allowed the entry of more construction materials into Gaza, and increased the number of permits for Gaza merchants to enter Israel from 2,000 to 7,000.
