Thousands of Palestinians are rioting along the northern Gaza security fence, the army says.
Some 3,000 people are throwing rocks and firebombs at Israeli troops on the other side of the border and attempting to damage the fence itself. Israeli soldiers are using tear gas and live fire against the rioters, according to the Israel Defense Forces.
One Palestinian, 27-year-old Muhammed Abu Abada, was shot dead by Israeli forces during the riots near the town of Beit Lahia in northern Gaza, Hamas-run Health Ministry says.
In addition, a group of Palestinian boats set sail from the coastal enclave, heading toward the edge of the permitted fishing zone apparently in order to break through the Israeli- and Egyptian-imposed naval blockade.
Israeli navy ships are on the scene, the IDF says.
