Gaza's Health Ministry says a Palestinian youth participating in protests on Gaza's border with Israel has been shot in the head and is in critical condition.
Since weekly mass marches began in late March, 28 Palestinians have been killed and hundreds wounded by Israeli army fire from across the border fence.
Today, protesters began gathering at sit-in protest camps near the border. In one camp, organizers placed four life-sized effigies of Israeli soldiers in a cage facing the border.
Hamas is believed to hold the remains of two soldiers from a previous war with Israel.
On previous Fridays, most protesters stayed in the camps, with smaller groups throwing stones, burning tires and hurling firebombs near the fence.
A new tactic is to send burning kites into Israel.
