Some 400 turn out for renewed Palestinian protests along Gaza border
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIn the Gaza Strip, some 400 Palestinians are taking part in protests along the security fence, a striking decrease from the 40,000 people who participated in yesterday’s border clashes, the army says.
This dramatically lower turnout can partially be credited to reported efforts by Hamas to rein in the riots, after dozens of Palestinians were killed yesterday, according to the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry.
However, the low numbers can also likely be attributed to the tens of thousands of people attending the funerals of those killed on Monday.
