At least 56 Palestinians were injured on Friday (July 26) during clashes with Israeli soldiers in the eastern Gaza Strip close to the border with Israel.
Ashraf al-Qedra, spokesman of the Health Ministry
in Gaza, told
reporters that 38 of them were shot and wounded by Israeli soldiers' live
ammunition.
The injured
Palestinians include 22 children and three women, and the Israeli soldiers
targeted an ambulance that belongs to the medical services, al-Qedra said.
The clashes came
as hundreds of Gazan demonstrators took part in the weekly protests, better known
as the "Great March of Return" rally, in eastern Gaza.
The weekly rally
is calling on Israel
to end its tight blockade that has been imposed on the Gaza Strip since Hamas
violently seized control of the coastal enclave in 2007.
According to the
Gaza Health Ministry, the Israeli army has killed 306 Palestinians and wounded
more than 17,000 others since the outbreak of the rally.
