Some rioters are throwing stones and burning tires at several locations along the fence, the army says, while noting that the majority of the demonstrators are located “deep into the area” and not approaching the border.
The IDF says it is using riot dispersal measures to scatter the protesters and only employing live fire when necessary according to open-fire procedures.
