Mar 2018

The Palestinian health ministry says at least five people have been killed and 350 wounded, many of them by Israeli gunfire.
...
The IDF said troops were "firing towards the main instigators" to break up rioting that included the burning of tyres and the throwing of Molotov cocktails and stones at the fence.

The IDF said it had "enforced a closed military zone" in the area surrounding Gaza.
...
They said that one of the five who died was killed before Friday's protest started. Omar Samour, a 27-year-old farmer, was killed by Israeli tank fire near Khan Yunis.
