A Palestinian child was injured when a tear gas canister fired by an Israeli soldier hit him as he was rallying with others in a border area east of the besieged Gaza Strip.
According to Palestinian media reports the Israeli occupation forces showered a group of protesters with tear gas grenades during their presence in Talat Umm Husseina east of al-Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza.
The protesters torched tires in the area and threw stones at Israeli soldiers stationed behind the border fence.
Citizens in Gaza stage rallies on the border every Friday and sometimes during other days to protest the inhumane blockade imposed on the improvised coastal enclave.
