Israeli troops picked up two unarmed Paleostinians who crossed the Gazoo security fence and entered Israeli territory on Monday, the army said. According to the army, they were not in possession of weapons.

shortly after they crossed into southern Israel, near the Eshkol region. They were handed over to the Shin Bet security service for questioning.

Earlier reports indicated that three Paleostinians had infiltrated into Israeli territory, but an army spokesperson said he was only aware of two.

Elsewhere along the Gazoo border, several disturbances broke out, Paleostinian reports said, with dozens of demonstrators approaching the border. In one case the army opened fire and injured one of the rioters, the Paleostinians said.

Gazan shot in Friday’s “protests” dies, raising death toll to 18

[IsraelTimes] A senior Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", official says the terror group will continue protests on the Gazoo border that have resulted in violent festivities between Paleostinians and the IDF, vowing not to disarm or back down.

"The Paleostinian people are determined to continue the great ’March of Return,’ to free the land and move towards occupied Jerusalem, and they are not concerned by all the sacrifices," politician Khalil al-Hayya tells a memorial ceremony of Faris al-Raqib, 29, who the Gazoo health ministry says was shot in Friday’s festivities east of Khan Younis in southern Gazoo as tens of thousands of people took part in the mass protests.

His death, announced Monday, raised the reported corpse count to 18.

The border area is currently relatively quiet but tents erected for the protests remain.
Ynet adds:
Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
said Fares al-Ruqab was a member of its military wing.
Another Times of Israel article adds:
There were discrepancies in Paleostinian reports on the corpse count from the festivities. While Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, claimed Monday that 18 had died, the official news agency of the Paleostinian Authority had the number at 16. Israel has no official corpse count figures.
