The funerals of Iyad al-Shaer, 18, Muhammad Haniyeh, 23, Muhammad Shakhsa, 25, Muhammad Anshahi, 18, Muhammad al-Awawdeh, 26, and the two children Muhammad al-Hum, 14, and Nasser Musbeh, 12, set off from different areas across the Gaza Strip.

Iyad al-Shaer's cousin, Alaa, held Arab countries responsible "for giving the occupation strength over Palestinians," through their silence for Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people, Maan news agency reported.

The funerals set off from hospitals towards the homes of each of the seven killed Palestinians before burial processions at local cemeteries.

Alongside the killed 7, at least 506 other Palestinians were injured with various wounds on Friday, 210 of whom were transferred to hospitals for treatment including 3 critical cases.

Thirty-five children, four women, four paramedics and three journalists were among those injured.

Meanwhile, political analyst Naji Zaza said that "The Great March of Return" protests sent clear messages to Israel that these crowds insist on achieving their goals, especially breaking the siege on Gaza.

"The Great March of Return" protests were launched on March 30th by thousands of Palestinian civilians in Gaza -- which has suffered from a decade-long Israeli siege -- who took to the borders to demand their right of return as refugees to their original homelands, now under Israeli occupation.
