GAZA BORDER: Clashes erupted as thousands gathered for a third consecutive Friday of mass protests along Gaza’s border with Israel after violence in which Israeli forces have killed 33 Palestinians and wounded hundreds of others. Limited clashes between stone-throwing Palestinians and Israeli soldiers took place in at least two areas along the border, AFP reporters said, with larger protests expected after Friday prayers. Most were injured east of Gaza City, but two were hurt in clashes near Al-Bureij in central Gaza. Israeli soldiers used large fans in a bid to push the smoke away. The first two Fridays — with far less on intervening days — saw tens of thousands gather near the border with Israel at five locations.
