RNA - Palestinian activists reportedly used around 45 fishing boats to advance towards the Israeli sea border in an act of defiance against Israel's long-standing blockade on Gaza. The casualty figures were announced by medics in Gaza, according to reports.

 

Following reported gunfire, demonstrators were forced to stop their advance and return to shore, and to retreat from the border. The march was reportedly organized by Gaza's National Committee for Breaking the Siege.
