Hit in the chest by Israeli security forces’ gunfire during the Return Protests near the Gaza perimeter fence, east of al-Bureij Refugee Camp; thousands took part in the protests. Shaqurah was shot when he was about twenty meters from the fence, after he tied a bit of wire to the fence, tugged on it, dropped it and went back to stand with other demonstrators. During the demonstration, some of the protesters torched tires and threw stones at Israeli troops stationed on the other side of the fence. Some protesters crossed the fence.
