report into the killing of a female Paleostinian medic in June.
The report found that IDF troops likely fired into a group of protesters and medical personnel who posed no threat to them.
The IDF said the army’s internal investigations body was "probing to clarify the reasons behind the death of Razan al-Najjar. The results of the investigation will be sent to the military advocate general upon their completion."
Friday’s protests were held at various locations along the border under the banner of Hamas’s ongoing "March of Return" demonstrations.
