Violence on Friday included incident where four Palestinians were shot dead after breaching security fence

Israeli forces have shot dead six Palestinians, including four in a single incident, in one of the deadliest days in months of mass protests along the security fence separating Gaza and Israel, Gaza’s health ministry said.

The ministry said four were killed in one location, where the Israeli military said it opened fire on Palestinians who breached the fence and approached an army post. No Israeli troops were harmed, the army added.

At least 140 Palestinians were wounded by live bullets, the ministry said.

The Israeli military said 14,000 Palestinians gathered at border fence areas, burning tires and throwing rocks, firebombs and grenades at soldiers stationed atop mounds on the other side of the barrier.

they’re more like terrorist attacks than protests. But since they’re Palestinians and not TEA partiers....

What were they thinking? (Speaking of the terrorists, not the IDF) “Oh, you guys in the front there, just go ahead and climb over to the Israeli side. They won’t shoot. Don’t worry, we’ll be right behind you.”

From the article: “Repeated attempts to reconcile Hamas and the West Bank-based administration of the Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, have all but faltered, increasing the desperation that has in large part fuelled the demonstrations.”

“Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas . . ..” President of what exactly?

Throwing ... grenades ??? It’s a license to be killed. There should have been much more than 4 shot dead. How anymore stupid these thugs can be?

"Israeli forces have shot dead six Palestinians..."

Not nearly enough. The IDF needs to step up their game.

Is there any such thing, as dead bullets?

They're generally made of lead, tungsten, copper, etc. Is there any such thing as a live bullet? They're not even organic!
