Riots reported at weekly Gaza border protest
Palestinians begin rioting on the beach along the northern Gaza border, as part of weekly maritime protests against the naval blockade of the coastal enclave.
Israeli troops are responding by firing tear gas at the rioters, according to Palestinian media.
The Israeli military does not immediately comment on the protests.
Palestinians have rioted along the northern Gaza border, across from the Israeli community of Kibbutz Zikim, each week against the naval blockade of the Gaza Strip, which Israel and Egypt say is necessary to prevent terror groups from importing weapons into the coastal enclave.
