Three protesters injured in Gaza night protests

Sunday 24-March-2019

At least three Palestinian protesters were injured and dozens suffered from their exposure to tear gas fumes during renewed nighttime rallies on Saturday in border areas east of the besieged Gaza Strip.

Local sources told the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) that dozens of young men flocked in the evening to the March of Return camps in the east of Gaza and participated in the night protests.

They added that Israeli soldiers intensively fired live ammunition and tear gas grenades at the protesters injuring three of them in the east of Jabalia Rafah and Khan Younis.

The protesters torched tires used loudspeakers to play national songs and sirens and flashed laser beams at soldiers behind the border fences.

Organizers say such night rallies are aimed at creating confusion among Israeli forces on the border and pressuring Israel to lift its blockade on Gaza.
