Israeli snipers kill cousin of murdered Palestinian medic Razan al-Najjar
Relatives of murdered volunteer paramedic Razan Najjar, 21, mourn at the family house during her funeral last Saturday

ISRAELI snipers shot dead the cousin of slaughtered Palestinian paramedic Razan al-Najjar yesterday as he allegedly approached Israel’s illegal border fence in Gaza.

Israeli authorities claimed that two people had tried to “infiltrate the border,” causing them to open fire and kill Ramzi Najjar. His companion managed to escape, making his way back into Gaza unharmed.

An Israel Foreign Ministry tweet claimed: “A short while ago, [army] troops thwarted an attempted infiltration from the Gaza Strip into Israeli territory by two terrorists who damaged the security fence and were armed with an axe.”
