Israel has rescued its Qatari funded fuel into Gaza, even though border riots continued on Tuesday.

Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman 's office late Tuesday night announced the end of the ban.

The Qatari is fueled by Gaza's commercial crossing at Kerem Shalom. The 2 million Palestinians in Gaza live on electricity.

Liberman had initially said that the Qatari fuel would be restored only if the violence was halted.

He had initially closed the pedestrian crossing at Erez and the commercial crossing at Kerem Shalom, including gas and fuel last week. Aim Sunday he lifted all those restrictions.

Israeli troops shot and killed in Gazan youth on Tuesday during a protest on the Gaza border and wounded seven others, a Palestinian medical official said.

Ashraf Al-Qidra, spokesperson for Gaza's health ministry, said 17-year-old Muntaser al-Baz died in hospital by Israeli troops.
