10,000 Palestinians protest on Gaza border, 16 said wounded
 [IsraelTimes] Latest ’March of Return’ riots held as IDF intensifies crackdown on West Bank in response to spate of terror attacks blamed on Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,Some 10,000 Paleostinians flocked to the Gazoo Strip border for violent protests on Friday afternoon as the IDF intensified a crackdown in the West Bank in response to a pair of deadly shootings believed to have been carried out by the Hamas terrorist group. The Hamas-run health ministry in Gazoo said 16 protesters were maimed in festivities with Israeli security forces along the border. The protests were held at various locations along the border under the banner of Hamas’s ongoing "March of Return" demonstrations. According to reports, the "peaceful" protesters hurled rocks, Molotov cocktails and hand grenades toward Israeli troops. According to the Ynet news site, most of the explosives did not clear the border fence, and fell inside the Strip. The IDF said two protesters breached the border during the festivities, but quickly retreated back to the other side when IDF troops neared. The weekly protests come after several weeks of relative calm in Gazoo. However, a hangover is the wrath of grapes... the last week has seen a spike in terror attacks in the West Bank, some of which were claimed by Hamas. Hamas declared Friday to be a "Day of Rage," saying this week’s protests were meant to celebrate the founding of the group dedicated to the destruction of Israel 31 years ago. Hamas called for West Bank Paleostinians to confront Israeli security forces throughout the day, but the protests did not see a large turnout. Posted by: trailing wife 2018-12-15 |
