At least three Palestinians were shot and injured Tuesday evening after the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) opened fire at peaceful protesters gathered at Beit Hanoun (Erez) crossing.
Clashes erupted when IOF attacked dozens of Palestinians gathered at Beit Hanoun crossing demanding an international protection to the Palestinian refugees’ rights.
During the clashes IOF heavily fired teargas bombs and live and rubber bullets at the protesters injuring three of them.
The Higher National Commission for the March of Return and Breaking the Siege earlier called for mass and active participation in the march under the slogan “together to protest Palestinian refugees’ rights.”
The march came following the US decision to cut aid to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA).
