In addition, Palestinians burned tires, threw rocks and launched burning projectiles in an attempt to light fires on the Israeli side of the border and to harm Israeli forces.
The IDF responded by deploying crowd control measures and live fire in accordance with its rules of engagement. "Our forces are determined to uphold the task of defending Israel's sovereignty and people," the army's statement concluded.
