Dozens said injured in fresh clashes near Gaza security fence

[IsraelTimes] Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,-run health ministry says 10 maimed by live fire; flotilla turns back after attempt to break maritime blockade as IDF fires warning shots

Dozens of Paleostinians were reportedly injured on Monday evening in fresh festivities with IDF troops along the Gazoo Strip’s northern border with Israel.

The Hamas-run Health Ministry in Gazoo said 51 people were maimed by Israeli troops during the protests, including 10 from live fire, according to reports in Paleostinian media.

Israel’s Channel 10 said 4,000 Gazooks demonstrated along the northern border with Israel, with protesters burning tires and hurling rocks, Molotov cocktails, and firecrackers at soldiers.

The protests also saw a several-boat flotilla attempt to break Israel’s naval blockade off Gazoo’s coast, in what has become a common occurrence in recent weeks. Paleostinian media reported the IDF fired warning shots at the boats, prompting them to return to shore.

Earlier on Monday, firefighters worked to extinguish four blazes adjacent to Israeli communities, which were sparked by airborne incendiary devices launched by protesters inside the Gazoo Strip.

The latest violence comes in the wake of heavy festivities on Friday in which seven Paleostinians, including two teenagers, were reported killed.

The riots have increased in recent weeks, going from a weekly event to near nightly protests since Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®, halted indirect talks with Israel aimed at a ceasefire. The humanitarian crisis in Gazoo has also worsened and reconciliation talks with the Paleostinian Authority have broken down.
Arab News adds:
Gazoo’s Health Ministry says 37 Paleostinians have been maimed by Israeli gunfire at a beach protest. The ministry says thousands protested Monday near the land and sea barrier in the northwestern corner of the Gazoo Strip, and that dozens suffered from tear gas inhalation.

This comes as the United Nations
...a formerly good idea gone bad...
agency that supports Paleostinian refugees withdrew some of its international staff from the Gazoo Strip on Monday, saying it was concerned for their safety, a statement from the organization said. Anger has mounted in Gazoo over the past few weeks among Paleostinian employees of UNRWA (The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Paleostine Refugees). Facing a financial crisis, the organization has had to cut jobs in Gazoo, sparking strikes and protests.
