4 Palestinians injured by Israeli gunfire at Gaza border

At least four Palestinians were injured on Tuesday evening when the Israeli occupation forces opened fire at peaceful protesters east of Deir al-Balah city in the central Gaza Strip.

The PIC reporter said that the Israeli forces heavily fired live ammunition and teargas canisters at dozens of Palestinian protesters east of Deir al-Balah.

Some of the protesters choked on teargas and were treated in the field, while others, who suffered live bullet wounds, were transferred to a local hospital for treatment.

Palestinian youths in Deir al-Balah march in the evening every Tuesday at the border fence. Night demonstrations have been for weeks a major part of the Great March of Return which started on 30 March.
