Dozens of Palestinian young men participated in renewed nighttime “confusion” rallies on Saturday in border areas in northern and southern Gaza.
Local sources told the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) that the Israeli occupation forces behind border fences showered the young protesters with tear gas grenades and opened fire at them as they were rallying in the east of Rafah (south) and Beit Hanoun (north).
Several protesters reportedly suffered from their exposure to tear gas fumes during the events.
A PIC reporter in Gaza said that the protesters torched tires used loudspeakers to play national songs and sirens and flashed laser beams at soldiers behind the border fences.
Organizers say such night rallies are aimed at creating confusion among Israeli forces on the border and pressuring Israel to lift its blockade on Gaza.
The night protests are part of a resurgence in border demonstrations following a brief lull after Egypt Qatar and UN officials have failed to broker a long-term truce between Hamas and Israel.
