The Palestinian Ministry of Health report that 20 civilian protesters against Israel’s illegal settlements and against Israel’s military violence were injured by metal bullets.
Many of the civilian protesters were also injured from choking tear gas fired by Israel at civilian protesters into civilian areas of the Gaza Strip at the Gaza border with Israel.
Even though the protesters are not physically threatening to Israeli soldiers and civilians in Israel, the Israeli military and armed Israeli civilians continue to fire their lethal weapons at protesters, occasionally hitting, injuring and killing them
Here are photos of the clashes.
