ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION)

STORY: Dozens of Palestinian mourners marched in a funeral procession on Saturday (December 21) for a Palestinian killed by Israeli forces along the Gaza border barrier between Israel and the Gaza Strip.

Israeli forces shot and killed a Palestinian and wounded three others in three separate incidents of cross-border violence in the Gaza Strip on Friday (December 20), Palestinian officials said.

The Israeli military, which has long said the area in Gaza along the border fence is off limits, said that its soldiers used live fire to contain a number of violent incidents near the border and "several hits were identified", but did not confirm any dead or wounded.

Palestinian officials said Jihad Hamad, a 22-year-old Palestinian, was shot dead by the fence near Beit Hanoun in the northern Gaza Strip.
