As of 13:38 Israel Time:
Over 10,000 Gazans at border
9 Gazans dead, 257 wounded... or perhaps it is 500 wounded
UDF says Hamas paying protesters with Iranian money
Explosion at the Aqaba Hotel in Jordan, across from Eilat, Israel — may be from ISIS-affiliated groups in the Sinai who meant to hit Israel.
Never mind — the Jordan explosion is planned work on the port there per Jordanian authorities
First kite fire of the day: small fire in a field outside Mefalsim, firemen on it.

#2  From the liveblogs:
Hamas claims 43 dead, over 5,000 injured
Protest in Jerusalem.
PLO plans strike in the West Bank and Gaza tomorrow to protest Gazan deaths.
IDF says they struck 5 Hamas targets near Jabaliya (followed by massive explosion) after Gazans shot at troops from there, 40,000 protestors at 12 or 13 locations along the border, more of them female than previously.
Embassy ceremony completed without incident. Presumably the party has commenced.
