| [IsraelTimes] Some 4,000 Paleostinians are taking part in rioting along the Gazoo border, the Israeli army says, up from 400 who were demonstrating there earlier in the day, but far less than the 40,000 who clashed with Israeli troops a day earlier. The Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,-run Gazoo health ministry says that two Paleostinians have been killed and over 160 are injured to varying degrees. The rioters are throwing rocks and Molotov cocktails at soldiers on the other side of the fence and rolling burning tires at the border "with the intention of starting fires in Israel and harming Israeli forces," the army says. IDF soldiers are responding with riot dispersal means and, in some cases, live fire. "They are operating in accordance with the rules of engagement," the army says. ‘Number’ of Palestinians arrested after crossing into Israel from Gaza [IsraelTimes] Israeli soldiers arrest "a number" of Paleostinians who tried to cross into Israeli territory during a violent protest along the security fence in the northern Gazoo Strip this evening, the army says. "The suspects were tracked by troops the entire time they moved [toward the border] and they were tossed in the clink Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out! next to the security fence," the army says. An army spokesperson says she is not yet sure exactly how many people were arrested. The suspects have been handed over to the Shin Bet security service for questioning.
