- Story Text: Israeli soldiers killed three Palestinians, one of them an 11-year-old boy, and wounded at least 248 others taking part on Friday (September 14) in weekly protests at the fortified Gaza Strip border, Palestinian medical officials said.
Wounded were brought to hospitals across the Gaza Strip, and one of them died from his wounds in Khan Younis hospital.
Friday's dead brought to 177 the number of Palestinians killed since the sometimes violent demonstrations were launched on March 30 to press demands against Israel. The 11-year-old, Shadi Abdel-Al, is the youngest fatality from Israeli gunfire.
The Israeli military said it used force necessary to repel 13,000 Palestinians who massed at several points at the fence. Some hurled rocks, firebombs and grenades at troops under cover of smoke from burning tyres, injuring a soldier, and nine Palestinians briefly crossed into Israel, the military said. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
