At least 35 Palestinians were injured on Friday after Israeli soldiers opened fire at thousands of Palestinians who gathered near the Gaza-Israel border fence to demand return to their homes in historical Palestine.
“35 demonstrators suffered live shot injuries and temporary asphyxia from teargas” Palestinian Health Ministry said in a statement.
Earlier Friday thousands of demonstrators began congregating at makeshift camps established along the security fence to take part in ongoing rallies against Israel’s decades-long occupation.
Since Mar. 30 when Palestinians began staging mass rallies near the security fence more than 125 protesters have been martyred and hundreds more injured by Israeli army gunfire.
