At least five Palestinians were injured after clashes erupted Friday afternoon between Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) and local youths near Gaza borders to the east of Jabalia town in northern Gaza Strip medical sources said.

Spokesman for the Health Ministry in Gaza Strip Ashraf al-Qudra affirmed that four youths suffered slight injuries after Israeli forces stationed along Gaza borders fired rubber-coated steel bullets and tear gas canisters at a group of Palestinians present near the borders to the east of the town of Jabalia.

Meanwhile a 17-year-old Palestinian was struck by a live bullet in the foot during similar clashes that broke out in al-Buraij refugee camp.
