At least seven Palestinians were injured on Tuesday evening when the Israeli occupation forces opened fire at peaceful protesters marching near the border fence east of Deir al-Balah city in the middle area of the Gaza Strip.
The PIC reporter said that the Israeli snipers stationed behind the border fence heavily opened fire at the protesters injuring seven of them.
The injured were transferred to al-Aqsa Hospital for treatment. One of them sustained a serious injury according to medical sources.
Palestinians in the Gaza Strip have been protesting on a daily basis since 30 March along the border with the 1948 occupied Palestinian territories.
The border protests also known as the Great March of Return are aimed at raising awareness of the Palestinian refugees’ right of return and pressuring Israeli to lift the blockade imposed on Gaza for over a decade now.
