GAZA CITY: Four Palestinians including a child were killed by Israeli fire in fresh Gaza border clashes on Friday. Thousands of Palestinians streamed toward the fence separating Gaza from Israel for a protest against the decade-long blockade of their territory. In some areas, they burned tires , sending black smoke into the air. Witnesses say that along one stretch of the fence, they heard gunshots. They say Israeli soldiers also fired tear gas volleys. One man with a bullhorn shouted, “America is the biggest evil.” Friday’s march is part of a series of protests held since late March against the Israeli-Egyptian blockade of the territory. Demonstrators have also pressed demands for a “right of return” for Palestinians uprooted in the 1948 war over Israel’s creation. Friday’s march coincides with “Jerusalem Day,” instituted by post revolution Tehran regime as an annual protest against Israeli control over the holy city.
