GAZA CITY — Thirteen Palestinian protesters were wounded by Israeli army gunfire Friday in clashes near the border fence in the central Gaza Strip, Palestinian medical sources said.

Ashraf al-Qudra, a spokesman for the Hamas-run health ministry, said one man was in serious condition after being shot in the head. Also, a 12-year-old boy reportedly suffered a head injury when he was struck by a tear gas canister, according to Palestinian sources cited by Israel Radio.

Qudra said the shooting, not far from Jabaliya northeast of Gaza City, came after the Palestinians threw stones at Israeli soldiers.

So there were hundreds of Palestinians trying to sabotage the fence.
And they were throwing rocks at the soldiers.
And they didn't disburse when the soldiers used riot dispersal methods.
So then they got shot.

All you had to do was leave the fence alone and not throw rocks.

I'm sure many of these wounds were as serious as John F' Kerry Vietnam wounds...
