TEL AVIV (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 05th January, 2019) Around 10,000 Palestinians took part in riots on the Gaza Strip border on Friday, the press service of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said.
The demonstrators threw stones and bottle bombs on the IDF and put tires on fire, the Israeli military argued, adding that the protesters also attempted to break through the border fences.
No IDF members have been injured.
The soldiers used various tools to disperse the crowd.
Palestinians boosted their protest activity on the Gaza border in late March, when they initiated their anti-Israeli campaign dubbed the Great March of Return. Since then, the rallies have been held weekly, followed by clashes between Palestinians and the IDF. Dozens of people were killed and hundreds of others were injured in the violence.
