| [IsraelTimes] IDF soldiers reportedly opened fire on Sunday at Paleostinian protesters in the northern Gazoo Strip during a demonstration near the Erez border crossing with Israel. Three men sustained gunshot wounds to the lower extremities, with one suffering a wound to the thigh, the Paleostinian Ma?an news agency reported. An Israeli military spokeswoman quoted by the news agency said that ?40 or more Paleostinians were hurling rocks and rioting violently? in the area and, consequently, Israeli forces ?attempted to disperse the riot? and ?fired toward the main instigators? lower extremities.? Soldiers also fired warning shots before the incident, Israel Radio reported. The incident came amid spiraling tensions along the border, breaking several months of calm between Israel and Gazoo following the summer?s 50-day war. A series of other protests took place in Rafah in the southern Gazoo Strip, and Bani Suheila and Nuseirat in the central Gazoo Strip, on Sunday with no reports of gunfire in any of the other demonstrations. |
