GAZA (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 17th August, 2018) Two Palestinians were killed and almost 300 more injured in clashes with the Israeli troops on the border of the Gaza Strip on Friday, Gaza Healthcare Ministry spokesman Ashraf Qidra said.
"Two Palestinians were killed and 270 injured in clashes with the Israeli army near the eastern border of the Gaza Strip," Qidra said.
Tensions between the Israelis and the Palestinians near the Gaza border have been mounting since late March, which marked the beginning of the Palestinian protest campaign against Israel, dubbed the Great March of Return.
The recent disturbances on the Israeli-Gaza border have been caused by continued shelling and the launch of arson balloons by Hamas militants into Israeli territories.
The clashes have already left at least 170 Palestinians dead and some 18,000 others injured.
Egypt and the United Nations are attempting to come up with a plan to ease the current tensions between the Israelis and Palestinians. Since March, a number of temporary ceasefire agreements between Israel and Hamas have been reached through the Egyptian mediation.
