Israel strikes Gaza again amid Palestinian border protests

[Al Ahram] The Israeli occupation army launched a dronezap on the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
Strip on Saturday after three Paleostinians were maimed by Israeli gunfire in the latest episode of border protests, sources on both sides said.

The early evening strike is one of a series that have come amid near-daily protests at the border by Paleostinians after Israel closed the Erez crossing from Gaza.

A Paleostinian security source told AFP that an "Israeli aircraft had targeted a Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, surveillance site east of Gaza City", without mentioning any casualties.

Earlier in the day, Paleostinian demonstrators were attacked by Israeli soldiers stationed along the border fence.

Three Paleostinians were maimed by Israeli fire, according to the Gaza health ministry.

Israel has imposed an air, land and sea blockade on the impoverished Paleostinian enclave ever since the Islamist group Hamas seized control in 2007.

Compare that report from Egypt to this from Israel:
IDF strikes Hamas post in Gaza after border rioting that included gunfire at troops

[IsraelTimes] Military responds with riot dispersal measures and live fire as dozens hold violent mostly peaceful protest, launch incendiary balloons

The military carried out an Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
on a Hamas, one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede, position in the Gazoo Strip on Saturday, following the latest riots along the border which included gunfire toward army forces.

The Israel Defense Forces said a drone struck the post, located near the day’s riots.

Dozens of Paleostinians rioted
...dozens? Golly. I guess Hamas really is having to tighten their belts — they used to hire thousands for their weekly Friday riots a few years ago!
along the border with Israel earlier, in the latest violent mostly peaceful rally near the barrier in what has become a daily occurrence.

Rioters burned tires and hurled makeshift bombs, and button men fired toward Israeli forces along the border.

Footage showed terror operatives flying balloons carrying incendiary devices toward the border, though there was no information of balloons sparking fires within Israel.
Depending which way the wind was blowing, quite possibly none of the things made it over the fence beyond Gaza.
The military said it responded with riot dispersal measures and live fire in some instances.
If only three were wounded, the local IDF troops are going to have to relearn how to hit protestor legs — it has been a while since they’ve needed to and probably that was a different crop of soldiers.
The Jerusalem Post adds:
One Gazan was injured as Paleostinians rioted and burned tires along Israel's border with the Gaza Strip on Saturday afternoon, according to local reports.

Israeli fire injured the rioting Gazan, Paleostinian media reported, who was among some 150 involved in violent mostly peaceful riots near the Rafah and Karni crossings.

Earlier on Saturday, a demonstration was held on the shores of the Gaza Strip as protesters staged a flotilla calling for an end to Israel's blockade of the strip for Yom Kippur and the High Holy days.

Fires also broke out along the Gaza border on Friday by what security forces said were incendiary balloons, not seen launched from the Gaza Strip in over two years.
