RNA - The forces fired live bullets and rubber-coated steel rounds at the protesters who gathered at many encampments along the border on Friday, injuring 28 protesters by live bullets, WAFA reported.

Some of the wounded were moved to hospital and others were treated in the field hospitals.

An ambulance was directly hit by an Israeli teargas canister and sustained partial damage.

More than 205 Palestinians have been killed and over 22,000 others injured by Israeli forces since the outbreak of the Great March of Return protests at Gaza border on March 30.

Most of the casualties occurred on May 14 when Israeli forces attacked Palestinian protesters marking the 70th anniversary of Israel’s occupation of historical Palestine, elsewhere referred to as the Nakba of 1948, and the ensuing ethnic cleansing of half a million Palestinian refugees.
