Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Friday daytime adventures: Palestinians Injured In Protests At Gaza Border, Hamas May Declare War Saturday
2019-03-30
[Jpost] Israeli troops shot and maimed seven Paleostinians on the Gazoo border on Friday, Gazoo medical officials said, the day before a mass rally called to mark the first anniversary of weekly protests in which around 200 Paleostinians have been killed.

Despite a decision by Gazoo protest organizers not to hold a big demonstration on Friday some Paleostinians turned out, although in smaller numbers than usual. Humanitarian officials urged restraint for Saturday's anniversary to avoid any further bloodshed.

The Israeli military said its troops faced around 800 demonstrators along the fortified frontier on Friday and that they had used riot dispersal measures to defend the border.

There were also sporadic festivities in the West Bank, where Paleostinian youths threw petrol bombs in Hebron, and 150 demonstrators hurled stones at Israeli troops, who fired back with rubber bullets and tear gas.
Another Jerusalem Post article adds:
Paleostinian media also reported the IDF attacked Paleostinians who attempted to blow balloons carrying bombs towards Israel.
Ha’aretz bumps it up to eight wounded — somewhere I saw it claimed one of them was shot in his dangly bits, but Ha’aretz has no interest in such specific geography:
Eight Palestinians were wounded by live fire during protests at the fence separating Israel from the Gaza Strip on Friday, the Gaza Health Ministry said. One of the wounded was hit in the stomach and was in serious condition, according to the ministry.

#10  Well, all smoke and balloons.
I was hoping this would be an example of border intrusion mitigation that Trump would understand.

#9  There is nothing like victory to solve a problem like Hamas.

The kind of victory that Condoleezza Rice doesn't get in the way of, that is.

#8  War is a method of solving conflicts without any rules. And if you lose, you can lose everything—-it means losing freedom, treasure, territory, everything. It just depends on the victor.

Hamas depends on idiots believing their propaganda and raising a fuss. That is wearing thin. There is nothing like victory to solve a problem like Hamas.

#6  If Hamarse declares war, and Israel accepts does that mean that when Hamarse loses Israel can just annex the Hamarse land?

#4  Haaretz: tens of thousands gather. One goes on the permanent disabled list

"A 17-year-old Palestinian demonstrator died after he was hit in the face by a bullet, Gaza's Health Ministry said. He has been identified as Adham Amara."
