| [IsraelTimes] Protests come amid reports Israel is in advanced talks with Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",, via UN and Egyptian mediation, for a long-term truce; hand-grenade said thrown at IDF troops. Some 5,000 Paleostinians protested Friday along the border between the Gazoo Strip and Israel, with some 180 maimed, according to Paleostinian reports. The Hamas-run health ministry in Gazoo said some 180 demonstrators were maimed in festivities with IDF troops, including several who were hit by live fire.
The IDF had no immediate comment. The Ynet news site said that a hand-grenade was thrown at IDF troops and that Paleostinians also managed to down an IDF drone used to disperse tear gas on the protesters. There were no IDF injuries, Ynet said. One incendiary balloon sent over the border from the Strip caused a fire near Kibbutz Be’eri. Fire fighters extinguished it before it could spread. The festivities came despite reports that Israel is in advanced indirect talks with Hamas, via UN and Egyptian mediation, for a long-term truce in the Strip. At least 171 Gazooks have been killed by Israeli fire since the start of the festivities, according to the Hamas-run health ministry. An Israeli soldier was shot to death by a Paleostinian sniper. Hamas has acknowledged that dozens of the Paleostinian fatalities were members of terror groups.
