Dozens of Palestinians wounded in West Bank, Gaza Strip and Golan Heights as clashes break out amid 'Nakba Day' protests
Al-Jazeera
"Over 40 people were injured in the Gaza Strip on Sunday as thousands of Palestinians and activists marched to mark "Nakba Day" or Israel's 1948 founding, amid tight Israeli security.
A group of Palestinians, most of them children, were shot by the Israeli army after crossing a Hamas checkpoint and entering what Israel calls "buffer zone" - an empty area between the borders where Israeli soldiers generally shoot trespassers, Al Jazeera correspondent Nicole Johnston reported from Gaza City.
Johnston said tank shelling and artillery fire were also heard from the Israeli border with the Gaza Strip.
Reports said at least 45 Palestinians were wounded in northern Gaza as Israeli troops opened fire on a massive march of at least 1,000 people heading towards the Erez border crossing between the Gaza strip and Israel....
One of the biggest demonstrations [??] was held near Qalandiya refugee camp and checkpoint, the main secured entry point into the West Bank from Israel, where about 100 protesters marched, Al Jazeera correspondent Nisreen El Shmayleh reported from Ramallah.
Some injuries were reported from tear gas canisters fired at protesters there, El Shmayleh said...."
