Gaza, ALRAY - The Israeli occupation army has shot and wounded six young Palestinian men during its violent crackdown on popular demonstrations held along the eastern fence of the besieged Gaza Strip.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced Sunday that six young men sustained various injuries after being shot by Israeli occupation forces near Gaza’s eastern fence.

Several more suffered breathing difficulties after inhaling tear gas fired by Israeli occupation soldiers while brutally suppressing the peaceful protests in the east of the blockaded Gaza Strip.

Hundreds of Palestinian citizens marched along the fence of the blockaded Gaza Strip to protest the repeated Israeli attacks and violations against the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the arbitrary measures imposed against Palestinian detainees by the Israeli occupation prison service.
