Another Friday of protests in Gaza

Four Palestinian protesters have been killed and at least 200 injured, according to medics in Gaza, as thousands of protesters gathered along the Israel-Gaza border.

They set fire to tyres to create a smokescreen to block the view of Israel Defence Force snipers, who say troops only opened fire when people attempted to breach the fence. The protests are part of six weeks of daily demonstrations dubbed ‘The Great March of Return’.
