Saturday 15-October-2016

One Palestinian young man suffered a bullet injury during skirmishes on Friday evening with Israeli soldiers in a border area east of the Gaza Strip.
According to local sources soldiers at the military outpost of Nahal Oz east of Gaza city opened fire and teargassed a group of angry young men who approached the Israeli security fence chanting slogans against the occupation.
One young man was wounded in his leg and rushed to al-Shifa hospital. Others suffered from inhaling tear gas.
Other group of young protesters rallied in a border area east of al-Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza provoking soldiers into firing live bullets and tear gas canisters from their military watchtowers at them.
No one suffered gunshot injuries. Only several protesters were given on-site medical assistance after they inhaled tear gas.
Every Friday Gazan young men stage protests in different border areas protesting the blockade and Israel’s crimes against the Palestinians and their holy sites.
