A Palestinian man has died after he succumbed to wounds he sustained from Israeli gunfire the previous day at protests along the perimeter fence, Gaza's Health Ministry said on Saturday.

It said that Badr Abu Moussa, 25, was being treated at a hospital in the southern Gaza Strip, after a bullet hit him in the head.

He was among 6,000 Palestinians who participated in the weekly protests along Gaza-Israel perimeter fence.

The ministry said 42 protesters were wounded by live fire.

The Israeli military claimed that a soldier was lightly injured and an army vehicle was damaged as the demonstrators threw grenades at the fence, the Associated Press reported.

Gaza's Hamas rulers launched the marches last year, which aim to break a 12-year-old Israeli-Egyptian blockade on the territory.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Wednesday said that more than a third of Israeli forces in Lebanon have withdrawn since the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanese armed group Hezbollah.

Blinken, speaking to reporters in Paris, said that while challenges remain, the oversight mechanism put together by the United States and France to address concerns about ceasefire violations is working and functioning well.
