Israeli gunfire kills Palestinian as border protest builds to climax

By Nidal al-Mughrabi GAZA (Reuters) - Israeli troops killed a Palestinian and hundreds of others were hurt on Friday, Palestinian medical workers said, bringing to 44 the number killed during a six-week protest at the Gaza-Israel border. The protests are building to a climax on May 15, the day Palestinians call the "Nakba" or "Catastrophe", marking the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in the conflict surrounding the creation of Israel in 1948. Others suffered the effects of teargas or were hit by rubber bullets or shrapnel.
