Israeli soldiers firing Friday from across a border fence killed four Palestinians, including a 15-year-old boy, and wounded more than 150, Gaza health officials said, as several thousands of people in blockaded Gaza staged a fourth round of weekly protests on the border with Israel. The latest deaths brought to 32 the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli troops in protests since late March. Israeli soldiers are positioned on the other side of the border fence, including snipers taking cover behind earthen berms. The military has said Palestinians have tried to damage the border fence with explosives, firebombs and other means. Palestinian protesters fly a kite with a burning rag dangling from its tail to during a protest at the Gaza Strip's border with Israel on Friday.
