The brother of 16-year-old Mahmud al-Gharabli cries during his funeral procession in Gaza City on Thursday, July 5. According to the Palestinian Health Ministry, the teen was among dozens of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces last month during protests as part of the "Great March of Return" -- marking 70 years since the loss of Palestinian land and homes when the state of Israel was created -- and over the relocation of the US Embassy to Jerusalem. Palestinian officials accused Israel of committing a "horrific massacre" in response to the protests and called on the international community to intervene. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended his military's actions, tweeting that "every country has the duty to defend its borders." Israel's military said protesters threw Molotov cocktails, stones and burned tires at Israeli soldiers positioned along the fence separating Israel and Gaza.

This image, seen with the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope, shows a newborn planet still forming around a star in the Centaurus constellation. The round bright planet is seen to the right of the black circle at the center of the image. (The center is the young dwarf star PDS 70. It isn't naturally this dark; researchers used a coronagraph to block its bright light so we could see the planet and the disk of gas and dust around it.) Because the planet is still growing, it could shed new light on how planets form.
