gaza - At least 170 Palestinian demonstrators were wounded by confrontations with the Israeli army. This is reported by the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza, which stated that 22 people suffered gunshot wounds. Other demonstrators, for example, inhaled tear gas.

The Israeli army estimates that approximately 7,000 Palestinians gathered at the border on Friday. They threw stones and rolled burning car tires towards the border fence. For example, demonstrators tried to create a smokescreen to deny Israeli snipers the sight. The army used tear gas, among other things, to disperse the demonstrators. Also would have been shot with sharp.

With such protests, dozens of people have been killed in recent weeks. Palestinians have been demonstrating at the border of the overpopulated, isolated and poverty-stricken Gaza Strip since the end of March. With the so-called 'March of return', the activists demand that Palestinians who fled the area in the past may return to what is now Israel.
