Palestinian medical sources identified the victim as Akram Abu Amsha, 22.

Eyewitnesses stated that executive force members were helping the Palestinians entering the Gaza strip from that crossing and managing traffic when Israeli tanks stationed at an army post near the crossing opened fire at the officers, killing Abu Amsha.

Executive force members have been helping Palestinians cross the border since a number were allowed to re-enter the Gaza Strip.
