At least three Palestinians sustained injuries at nightfall Sunday after they were hit with Israeli bullet fire east of Khan Younis and Rafah to the south of Gaza Strip.
A PIC news correspondent said Israeli patrols opened fire at a group of Palestinians maintaining peaceful vigil in al-Awda refugee camp near the border fence injuring two of them.
A third was also injured in a similar attack east of Rafah.
The injured persons including a journalist were evacuated to the Abu Youssef al-Najjar Hospital for treatment.
Meanwhile an Israeli drone targeted a motorcycle east of Al-Boreij. No initial casualties were reported during the incident.
The Great March of Return was launched on 30th March in five camps installed along Gaza’s border with the 1948 occupied Palestinian territories.
The march mainly calls for lifting the 12-year-long blockade on Gaza and for allowing Palestinian refugees to return to their lands from which they were expelled in 1948 as stipulated by UN resolutions particularly Resolution 194 which provides for return or compensation.
Since Gaza border protests started 184 Palestinians have been killed 27 of whom are children and over 19000 injured by the Israeli army.
