Palestinians in Gaza Fire Five Rockets at Israel after Border Riots Saturday
(Jerusalem Post) Anna Ahronheim - Five rockets launched towards Israel from Gaza on Saturday night fell in open territory, an IDF spokesperson said. Earlier, Palestinians reported that 4 were killed and more than 200 injured in clashes along Gaza's security fence with Israel, as thousands rioted to mark Land Day and the first anniversary of the weekly March of Return. Over 40,000 Palestinians gathered along the fence, hurling stones and hand grenades. The size of crowds approaching the fence was reduced by Hamas' deployment of hundreds of operatives wearing orange vests. Hamas and Islamic Jihad officials said on Saturday that the weekly protests at the border will continue.
