TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - The decision was made by the Israeli regime to respond to the burning of car tires on the Gaza Strip by Palestinian protesters who wanted to limit the Israeli snipers’ eyesight and not being shot by them.
Thousands of protesters gathered in locations near the fence east of Khan Yunis, in the south of the blockaded Palestinian enclave, and east of Gaza City.
Last Friday's protests turned violent when Israeli military forces used lethal force to disperse the protesters, shooting and killing 20 unarmed demonstrators. One of the casualties succumbed to his wounds earlier today. Some 1,500 people were also injured.
