Dead and wounded in Palestinian protest

gaza - During the massive protests in the Gaza Strip, five Palestinians were killed on the border with Israel on Friday. Approximately 350 people were injured in the 'March of the return,' said the Ministry of Health in Gaza.

Israeli soldiers shot consciously on wheel turners, as the army had also announced on Friday. According to reports in the Palestinian media, more than 20,000 people came to the protest march. The radical Islamic Hamas wanted to support a 'right of return' for Palestinian refugees and their descendants in what is now Israel. Israel rejects a return to their own territory.

The protests should last until 15 May. The Palestinians celebrate May 15 as Catastrophe Day because about 700,000 Palestinians fled or expelled during the first Middle East war in 1948.
