[IsraelTimes] IDF says troops responded with crowd dispersal means and sniper fire against rioters on security barrier

Dozens of Paleostinians rioted in the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
Strip on the border with Israel on Tuesday afternoon, setting off a large bomb, footage showed.

The Israel Defense Forces said in a statement that troops responded with crowd dispersal means against the rioters, as well as sniper fire in some cases.

The IDF said the dozens of rioters set off a number of explosives and hurled grenades at the border barrier in the northern part of the Gaza Strip.

No soldiers were hurt, the IDF said in a statement. There were no reports of injuries on the Paleostinian side either.

In footage shared by Paleostinian media outlets, a large bomb could be seen being detonated on the fence. Another clip shared online, apparently from the IDF’s thermal cameras, showed the blast from the Israeli side of the border.

The IDF did not immediately respond to requests for comment on whether or not it officially issued the footage.

The rioting Tuesday comes after hundreds of Paleostinians in the Gaza Strip violent mostly peacefully protested on the border on Friday, hurling bombs and attempting to break through the security barrier. Nine Paleostinians were reported maimed by Israeli fire in those riots.

The recent riots followed a report on Thursday claiming that the Hamas, a regional Iranian catspaw, terror group, which rules the Strip, was considering a resumption of regular protest marches along the border and other activities against Israel.

Weekly protests along the frontier began at the end of March 2018 and continued almost every Friday until the end of 2019, with the demand that Israel lift its restrictions on the movement of people and goods into and out of the coastal enclave and a call for the return of Paleostinian refugees and their descendants to lands that are now a part of the Jewish state.

Israel says its blockade of Gaza is necessary to prevent Hamas from freely arming itself for war and attacks.

The weekly protests on the border in 2018 and 2019 frequently involved violence, including the hurling of explosives, rocks and Molotov cocktails at IDF soldiers, as well as attempts to storm and sabotage the border fence, and in some cases live fire toward Israeli soldiers. Troops often responded with rubber-coated bullets and tear gas, as well as live fire. More than 200 Paleostinians were killed at the demonstrations and thousands were maimed.

In addition, Paleostinians regularly flew helium balloons into Israel carrying explosives and incendiary devices, sparking fires that destroyed large swaths of foliage.

While Hamas is said to now consider resuming the "Marches of Return," as they came to be known, no official statement has yet been published by the terror group on its future plans.
