Israeli forces shoot dead Palestinian protesters, wound dozens more in N Gaza Strip
[PRESSTV] Israeli soldiers have rubbed out a Paleostinian and maimed some 50 others who had held a protesting rally along the northern coast of the besieged Gazoo Strip in a bid to break the decade-long blockade on the impoverished sliver.According to a brief statement by Gazoo Health Ministry, the protester, whose identity has not been disclosed yet, lost his life after Israeli troops began shooting live rounds and tear gas canisters at crowds of Gazooks, who had held a rally against the prolonged siege along the coast of al-Wahe district in the northwestern borders of the enclave. Hundreds of Gazook demonstrators had gathered in the area on Monday afternoon to participate in a boat protest setting off from the Gazoo seaport against the siege, but Israeli navy obstructed the protest’s way off the shore by shooting at them. The International Committee for Breaking the Siege, which organized the march, called upon the "free world to save the Gazoo Strip," whose fishermen are under crippling fishing limits. Since inhabitants of Gazoo began staging weekly border protest rallies on March 30, the Israeli regime’s forces have killed more than 180 people and maimed thousands of others.
The IDF said thousands had taken part in the demonstration, throwing burning tires, rocks and bombs at the troops on the other side of the border fence. Soldiers responded with riot dispersal measures according to rules of engagement, a military front man said. In addition, around 10 Paleostinian boats sailed off the coast to challenge the blockade over the strip, drawing warning shots from the Israeli navy. There were no reports of Paleostinian casualties.
