Palestinians set off explosives at border fence during Gaza clashes

Sections of the Gaza security fence were damaged by explosive devices set off by Palestinian rioters in the southern Strip, the army says.

According to the army, approximately 100 Palestinians were taking part in clashes along the border with Israeli troops who responded with tear gas and live fire.

In a separate incident, a group of Palestinians broke through the Gaza security fence and approached an IDF post. Troops fired warning shots at the men, who ran back into Gaza, the army says.
