Two Gazan youths injured during Israeli attack on night protests

Tuesday 26-February-2019

At least two Palestinian youths were shot and injured on Tuesday evening as Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) opened their machine-gun fire at dozens of protesters along Gaza eastern borders.

Locals told PIC reporter that Israeli forces fired live ammunition and teargas bombs at Palestinians demonstrating peacefully to the east of the Gaza Strip injuring two of them.

Dozens of young men torched tires used loudspeakers to play national songs and sirens and flashed laser beams at soldiers behind the border fences.

Organizers say the night rallies are aimed at creating confusion among Israeli forces behind the border fences.

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.
