Hamas health ministry: 11 Palestinians injured by IDF in fresh Gaza protests Sunday
|
 [IsraelTimes] Some 350 people turn out to demonstrate along Strip's security fence, after Friday's mass march with 30,000 participants
At least 11 Paleostinians were shot and maimed by Israeli troops during fresh violent protests along the Gazoo border on Sunday, Gazoo’s Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",-run health ministry said, two days after the region was rocked by a massive demonstration.
The Israel Defense Forces confirmed that live rounds were fired at some of the protesters mentioned by the Gazoo health ministry, who it said approached the border fence.
According to the army, some 350 Paleostinians took part in Sunday’s demonstrations throughout the coastal enclave. On Friday, 30,000 joined a Hamas-backed mass march, and further mass protests against Israel are planned for this Friday and future weeks until mid-May, when Israel’s marks its 70th Independence Day and the Paleostinians what they call Nakba Day ‐ the "catastrophe" caused by Israel’s creation.
Protesters on Sunday burned tires and threw rocks at the Israeli troops on the other side of the border. The Israeli soldiers mostly retaliated with tear gas and rubber bullets, but in some cases fired live rounds at those who approached the security fence, the army said.
According to the Hamas-run health ministry, in northern Gazoo, five people were maimed in a protest along the security fence east of Jabaliya; in central Gazoo, one was injured one of Gazoo City and two east of al-Bureij; and in southern Gazoo, two were maimed east of Khan Younis and one near Rafah.
One of the teenagers maimed in Khan Younis was said to be at death's door. A graphic video from the scene appeared to show that he sustained a head wound.
The army confirmed that soldiers fired live rounds at seven of the 11 rioters ‐ five in northern Gazoo and at two in the south.
During Friday’s protests, 12 Paleostinians were rubbed out by IDF troops. Two more, who were armed with AK-47 assault rifles and hand grenades, were killed as they shot up Israeli soldiers and tried to breach the security fence. In addition, one Paleostinian man was killed earlier on Friday morning, before the start of the protests.
The Gazoo health ministry reported that over 1,000 people were maimed during the Friday protests, more than half by Israeli gunfire, the rest from tear gas and rubber bullets. These figures could not be independently verified. Israeli officials said they were inflated.
According to the army, in keeping with its rules of engagement, the Paleostinians who were shot Friday were either attacking IDF soldiers with stones and Molotov cocktails, were actively trying to damage the security fence, or were attempting to place improvised bombs along the security fence, which could later be used in attacks against Israeli patrols.
IDF girds for more Gaza protests after relatively calm day
[IsraelTimes] Despite relative calm on the Gazoo border on Sunday, the IDF is continuing to prepare for more mass protests of the kind seen Friday, erecting new barriers on the border fence to keep Gazooks from being able to sneak into Israeli territory, Channel 10 news reports.
Israel confirms it has bodies of 2 Hamas men killed in Friday shootout
 [IsraelTimes] Israel’s military liaison to the Paleostinians on Sunday confirmed that the bodies of two Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", button men who opened fire on IDF soldiers and were rubbed out on Friday were being held by Israel, along with the remains of 24 other slain operatives.
Maj. Gen. Yoav Mordechai, the coordinator of government activities in the territories, wrote on his Arabic-language Facebook page that the remains of the 26 Paleostinians would not be released until Hamas returned the two Israeli civilians and the remains of two fallen IDF soldiers that it is currently holding in Gazoo.
The bodies of two IDF soldiers ‐ Hadar Goldin and Oron Shaul ‐ are being held by Hamas, along with two live, apparently mentally ill Israeli civilians ‐ Abera Mengistu and Hisham al-Sayed, who entered Gazoo of their own volition in 2014 and 2015, respectively.
On Friday, Mussa’b Saloul and Muhammad Rubaiyah, armed with AK-47 assault rifles and hand grenades, shot up Israeli soldiers and tried to break through the security fence before they were rubbed out by troops. Israeli aircraft also later targeted Hamas positions in the Gazoo Strip.
