At least ten Palestinians were injured on Monday evening after Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) suppressed hundreds of Palestinian protesters in the naval protest in Beit Lahiya in the besieged Gaza Strip.

Medical sources confirmed to PIC reporter that 10 Palestinians were shot by Israeli gunfire while others suffered tear-gas inhalation.

Earlier Monday hundreds of peaceful protesters had gathered in the area while dozens others participated in a boat protest setting off from the Gaza seaport against the 12-year-long siege on Gaza.

The demonstration followed the National Committee for Breaking the Siege’s call upon Palestinians to take part in the 13th naval protest.
