IDF opens fire at Palestinian rioters along Gaza border
Israeli troops open fire at a number of Palestinian rioters who tried to damage the security fence around the Gaza Strip, the army says.
According to the army, approximately 200 Palestinians are taking part in violent protests at four main locations along the security fence, lighting fires and throwing rocks at Israeli soldiers on the other side.
The soldiers targeted a handful of “main instigators” who were trying to pull down portions of the fence, an army spokesperson says.
There are no immediate reports of injuries by the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry.
