Dozens of Palestinian citizens were injured on Friday when the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) opened fire at the demonstrators participating in the Great March of Return near Gaza border.
Gaza’s Ministry of Health said that 30 Palestinians including a child and a woman suffered injuries by IOF live bullets rubber-coated metal bullets and tear gas grenades.
Thousands of Palestinians marched on the 85th Friday of the Great March of Return along the border between the Gaza Strip and the 1948 occupied territories.
The demonstrators raised banners and chanted slogans calling for breaking the siege on Gaza and condemning the settlement expansion in al-Khalil City in the occupied West Bank.
The Gaza Strip Palestinians on 30 March 2018 launched the Great March of Return protests mainly to call for ending the 13-year-long blockade on Gaza and allowing the return of Palestinian refugees to their lands.
