GAZA/MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 22nd January, 2019) One Palestinian was killed and two others were injured on Tuesday as a result of shelling of an observation post in the Gaza Strip by Israeli military, spokesman for the Gaza Health Ministry Ashraf Qedra told Sputnik.

"One Palestinian was killed and two Palestinians were injured this evening as a result of the Israeli shelling of an observation post in the central part of the Gaza Strip," Qedra said.

Earlier in the day, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) press service said that an Israeli officer was injured in clashes with Palestinians, who took part in riots on the Gaza Strip border. In response, an Israeli tank attacked an observation post used by militants from the Hamas movement ruling the enclave.

The Gaza border area has been a scene of violent clashes between Palestinians and the Israeli military since late March, when Palestinians launched their anti-Israeli campaign dubbed the Great March of Return. Since then, rallies have been held weekly, with dozens being killed and hundreds of others injured in the violence.
