| [PRESSTV] More than 200 unarmed Paleostinian protesters have been maimed by Israeli troops in the besieged Gazoo Strip along the border separating the impoverished enclave and the occupied territories. Oh, the pain! According to a report by the Gazoo Ministry of Health, 206 demonstrators, including at least eight minors, sustained injuries as a result of inhaling tear gas fired by Israeli soldiers in the blockaded sliver on Friday. Reports said that Israeli forces fired large quantities of tear gas canisters and live bullets east of Gazoo City to disperse some 7,000 protesters who were rallying for what had been officially designated as "Friday of the Wounded", paying tribute to those who have been maimed since the beginning of the Great March of Return demonstrations. At least 133 Paleostinians, including 14 children, have been killed by Israeli forces since the Return rallies began in the Gazoo Strip on March 30. About 14,600 Paleostinians also sustained injuries, of them 300 are currently in a critical condition. Of those maimed, at least 3,900 have been injured by live bullets and another 500 by rubber-coated steel bullets, while more than 6,500 suffered from excessive tear gas inhalation.
The army said two grenades was thrown during the festivities toward Israeli troops at the border fence near Kibbutz Nahal Oz. No soldiers were maimed. Reports put turnout at Friday’s violent protests at around 1,000 people, a steep drop from participation at the height of the rallies and riots, when tens of thousands took part. During the festivities, Paleostinians launched incendiary devices toward Israel. The Walla news site reported 10 fires broke out in the Gazoo periphery during the day as a result of the flaming balloons and kites. All the blazes were extinguished.
