Ashraf al-Qedra, spokesman of the health ministry in Gaza said
in a short text message sent to reporters that 16 Palestinian demonstrators
were killed and more than 400 wounded, with 250 injured by Israeli live
gunshots in eastern Gaza Strip.
Hundreds of Palestinian demonstrators cut barbed wire of border
fence between eastern Gaza Strip and Israel and managed to enter into Israel.
Some of them burned tires.
The Monday (May 14) protests were organized by the National
Commission of the Great Marches of Return in eastern Gaza Strip, which have
been going on since March 30. Monday's rallies were also against moving the
US embassy to Jerusalem.
The Great Marches of Return was organized to mark 70 years of
the Palestinian Nakba Day or "Day of Catastrophe," which coincides
with the 70th anniversary of Israel's declaration of independence.
