Despite relative calm on the Gaza border on Sunday, the IDF is continuing to prepare for more mass protests of the kind seen Friday, erecting new barriers on the border fence to keep Gazans from being able to sneak into Israeli territory, Channel 10 news reports.

Some 350 Gazans protested near the border Sunday, according to Israeli reports.

Palestinians claim nine were injured, including one with a serious head wound. The numbers are far lower than the estimated 30,000 who protested Friday and thousand who showed up on Saturday.

There is no official comment from the Israeli military.
