At least three Palestinians, including a 15-year-old, were killed by Israeli fire on the Gaza border on Friday, the territory's health ministry said.
Israeli troops fired live rounds and tear gas as thousands of Palestinians protested near the Gaza border fence on Friday, with some demonstrators burning tires, throwing stones and flying blazing kites. At least 413 Palestinians were wounded, including 80 by live fire, Gaza health officials said.
Besides, seven of the wounded were in serious condition, the Health Ministry said, in the latest in a series of mass protests to call attention to a decade-old blockade of Gaza by Israel and Egypt.
The march also marked the annual “Jerusalem Day,” instituted by Iran
to protest Israeli rule of the holy city. Israel and Iran have been
archenemies since Tehran's 1979 Islamic Revolution.
In the capitals of Iran and Iraq, thousands of Muslims marked
Jerusalem Day with protests, with some chanting “Death to Israel” or
burning Israeli flags and effigies of President Donald Trump.
