Palestinian killed by IDF fire along Gaza border fence

An 18-year-old Palestinian was killed by IDF fire during clashes along the Gaza border fence on Friday afternoon, east of Al-Bureij.

Health officials in the Gaza Strip told AFP that a further two had been wounded by gunfire. The IDF responded that dozens of Palestinians had approached the fence, including some who setting tires on fire and throwing stones at army troops. The troops fired warning shots and when one demonstrator failed to go back and tried to cross through the fence, they fired another warning shot at him.
