GAZA BORDER: A Palestinian was martyred and more than 200 others wounded during clashes with Israeli troops as thousands gathered in protest along the Gaza-Israel border on Friday, Gaza officials said. Palestinian medical officials said Israeli troops opened fire on the demonstrators, martyring one and wounding 220. Israeli troops have martyred 31 Gaza Palestinians and wounded hundreds since the protests began, drawing international criticism of the lethal tactics used against them. On Friday, groups of youths waved Palestinian flags and burnt hundreds of tyres and Israeli flags near the fenced-off border after Friday prayers. Israel has declared a no-go zone close to the Gaza border fence.
