Israeli forces killed a Palestinian near the Gaza border on Tuesday, local health officials said, as Palestinian protesters turned out in smaller numbers than on Monday, when dozens were killed by Israeli gunfire.

The 51-year-old man was fatally shot along the frontier in the central Gaza Strip after thousands of Palestinians took part in funerals for Monday’s dead.

At least 58 people were killed, including several children, when Israeli troops opened fire on protesters Monday.
