The Islamist movement Hamas, which controls Gaza, has called for the protest to commemorate the burning of Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem 52 years ago.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health said in a statement that 41 civilians were wounded, including 10 children. A 13-year-old boy, hit in the head, remains in serious condition.
Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz said on television that these were “extremely dangerous events.”
The Israeli army told AFP that “hundreds of rioters and demonstrators” had gathered across the border. “Forces in the area are ready to use anti-riot equipment and, if necessary, 22 caliber bullets,” the army said.
Just three months ago, Israel and Hamas signed a truce after the worst incidents in years. For 11 days in May, Israel bombed the Strip in response to hundreds of rockets fired from the Strip.
No progress has been made on Gaza’s reconstruction since the May 21 truce, due in part to the blockade that Israel has imposed around the Strip since Hamas took power in 2007.
Last Thursday (19), Israel announced that it would allow money to flow from Qatar into Gaza, but other restrictions remained in place.
