At least seven Palestinians were injured on Tuesday when the Israeli occupation forces heavily opened fire at peaceful protesters near the border fence east of Deir al-Balah city in the middle area of the Gaza Strip.
Local sources said that as a group of Palestinian youths approached the border fence the Israeli forces showered them with live ammunition and teargas canisters.
Palestinians in the Gaza Strip since 30 March have been protesting in the Great March of Return on a daily basis along Gaza border with the 1948 occupied Palestinian territories.
So far 204 Palestinian protesters have been killed by the Israeli army including 30 children and over 22000 injured.
