GAZA (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 02nd March, 2019) At least 17 Palestinians were wounded on Friday in clashes with the Israeli troops in the eastern part of the Gaza Strip, a spokesperson for the Palestinian Health Ministry said.
"Seventeen people were injured by Israeli forces' live bullets," the spokesperson said.
According to the health ministry, three members of ambulance staff and one media representative were also injured in the clashes.
The Gaza border area has been a scene of violent clashes between the Palestinians and the Israeli military since late March, when the Palestinians launched their anti-Israeli campaign dubbed the Great March of Return. Since then, rallies have been held weekly, with dozens being killed and hundreds of others injured in the violence.
