The IDF said dozens of Palestinians breached the buffer zone, damaged the fence, threw rocks at soldiers, burned tires and "attempted to infiltrate Israel."
It said forces at the scene fired warning shots in the air to disperse them before shooting towards central rioters and that it is investigating the incident.
Dozens of protesters hurl rocks at Israeli soldiers every Friday along the border with Gaza.
