At least 8 Palestinians shot and wounded, health ministry in Gaza says

At least eight Palestinians have been shot and wounded in clashes along the Gaza-Israel border on Friday, the Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says.

Most were injured east of Gaza City, but two were hurt in clashes near Al-Bureij in central Gaza.

Many protesters left for midday prayers but larger numbers are expected to gather in five spots along the border on Friday afternoon.

In northern Gaza, a large Israeli flag was burned, AFP reports.
