109 Palestinian protesters injured by Israeli gunshots at Gaza border

At least 109 Palestinians were injured on Friday by Israeli gunfire during clashes with Israeli soldiers along the Gaza-Israel border, China's Xinhua News Agency reported official Palestinian news agency WAFA as saying.

Among the victims, who included four children and nine women, three were critically injured by Israeli gunshots in the head, while the remaining others sustained various injuries, the report said.

Despite the hot weather in a day of Ramadan, the holy month of fasting for Muslims, Palestinians continued to protest along the eastern border of the Gaza Strip.

Over 120 Palestinians have been killed and thousands of others injured by Israeli security forces since the outbreak of the Great March of Return protests near the Gaza-Israel border on March 30.

The Palestinians demonstrated for their right of return to their pre-1948 homes in the historical Palestine.
