Palestinians say four killed at Gaza protest

None

GAZA - Israeli soldiers shot dead four Palestinians, including a 14-year-old boy, who were among thousands of people who thronged to the fortified Gaza Strip border on Friday as part of weekly protests launched half a year ago, Gaza health officials said.

 

Israel's military said its troops resorted to live fire after explosive devices and rocks were thrown at them and to prevent breaches of the border fence from the Islamist Hamas-controlled enclave.

 

Gaza health officials said 190 people had been wounded.
