206 Palestinians suffered injures, including gas asphyxiation, during Friday’s protests at the Gaza Strip border, the Palestinian Health Ministry’s spokesman wrote on Twitter on June 22.

According to the statement, 44 of these people suffered live bullet wounds.

On Friuday, Israeli forces fired large amounts of tear gas and live bullets east of Gaza City cracking down on protesters that were burning tires to obstruct the view of Israeli snipers.

Protests have been taking place on in the Gaza Strip every Friday since March 30, 2018. The protests are known as the “Great March of Return”. The protests are aimed against the blockade of Gaza, the US decision to recognize Jerusalem as the Israeli capital and are demanding to allow Palestinian refugees and their descendants to return to the areas seized by Israel.

The protests are taking place amid increased Israeli strikes on alleged Hamas targets in Gaza. In turn, the Palestinian movement responds with rockets strikes on Israeli targets. The most recent encounter took place on June 20.

It shoul be noted that from its side, the Israeli leadership accused the Palestinains, especially Hamas, of the ognoing escalation.

Seventy years under a brutal jewish occupation and the Palestinian Spirit of Resistance still endures. Forty years of overt jewish occupation of DC and the American Spirit of Resistance is nowhere to be seen.

The child butchers have started their expansion process in Palestine and slaughtering children their. Don’t worry the Palestine children the Syrians and their allies are coming to rescue you from child butchers Trump and Netanyahu.

Rob

On the top of this slaughtering still the world prime ministers and presidents will support the child butchers Trump and Netanyahu to declare themselves certified child butchers, terrorists and thieves…
