| [IsraelTimes] Army says 350 demonstrators take part in violent protests, plant flag along border amid heightened alert after last week's kaboom A few hundred Paleostinians violently protested along the Gazoo border Friday amid a heightened alert by the Israeli military. The IDF said some 350 demonstrators took part in the riots at five different locations along the border, burning tires and throwing rocks toward soldiers. Two "inciters" were shot by soldiers for "posing a threat to IDF troops and the security fence," the army said. There were no reports of injured soldiers. In one incident a Paleostinian flag was hung upon the border fence, according to Hadashot TV news. During rioting last week, The following day, when IDF troops from the Golani brigade and the combat engineering corps approached the fence to remove the flag, the bomb detonated, wounding four soldiers, two of them seriously. The IDF has now eased the open-fire regulations in response to the heightened tensions, allowing soldiers to use lethal fire to prevent similar approaches to the border fence in future, Channel 10 reported on Friday. Snipers were stationed along the border for the purpose, along with other forces. The move comes after Israeli officials warned that the IED attack crossed a red line, and "the gloves will be off" in the next encounter between rioters organized by Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", and IDF troops. Separately Friday, the IDF said 950 Paleostinians held violent protests at 14 locations in the West Bank. The protesters burned tires and threw rocks and molotov cocktails at IDF troops and border policeman, who responded with riot dispersal means, the army said. The IDF said it was aware of one Paleostinian reported injured in the festivities. |
