Palestinian anti-occupation youth gathering at Gaza’s eastern borders set fire to an Israeli military watchtower in response to the recent escalation by the Israeli army which left over 60 Palestinian protesters dead.
Eye-witnesses said Palestinian young men crept into the border fence separating the blockaded Gaza Strip from territories occupied in 1948 and torched tents set up by Israeli snipers east of the Bureij refugee camp.
Over recent weeks Israeli snipers deployed inside makeshift tents shielded by sand barriers near the border fence continue to gun down Palestinian protesters at Gaza’s eastern border.
At least 120 Palestinians were killed by Israeli gunfire since the launch of the Great March of Return protests staged at the Gaza border.
