[IsraelTimes] Some 4,000 Paleostinians demonstrated along the Gazoo border Friday, in an unusually low turnout for the weekly protests.The protests were less intense than usual, according to Channel 13 news, likely due to the scorching heat wave and the Ramadan fast. Past demonstrations have numbered in the tens of thousands.
Gazoo’s Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,-run health ministry reported 16 injured by gas inhalation and rubber bullets during riots at the border, including a volunteer medic and a journalist. All were treated on the spot, according to the Walla news site.
Israeli authorities suspect that several of the fires ravaging Israel on Thursday and Friday were caused by incendiary balloons launched from the Strip, including a fire near the southern community of Moshav Yakhini which prompted the evacuation of a number of families.
