Border clashes in Gaza injure 41 Palestinians

As per details, the violence erupted after hundreds of Palestinians took part in a rally on Saturday to draw attention to a stifling Israeli blockade of the area.

The protest march became violent after dozens of people approached the fortified fence and threw stones and explosives at Israeli soldiers behind a black smokescreen sprayed from burning tires.

Following the border clashes, a member of the paramilitary police also sustained injuries and later admitted to hospital in a serious condition after being shot.

Meanwhile, the Israeli army said hundreds of protesters approached one section of the fence in northern Gaza and tried to climb over and troops reportedly fired tear gas and fired live rounds at the protesters.
