Israeli troops fired tear gas and live bullets at Palestinians throwing stones yesterday near the border fence in northern Gaza, the army said, with Palestinian medics saying 17 men were wounded.
Clashes are common on Fridays, with regular protests near the border in support of Gaza farmers who say troops uprooted their trees to create a buffer zone.
Emergency services chief Ashraf al-Qudra told AFP 13 protesters were wounded by gunfire and four hit by tear gas.
Earlier he said one of the men shot was in critical condition.
An army spokeswoman confirmed the shooting but did not say if anyone was hurt.
“Hundreds of Palestinians were throwing stones to try to damage the security fence between Gaza and Israel,” she said.
