"Violent Protests Erupt Again on Gaza Border, Leaving 5 Injured"

Palestinians in the Gaza Strip rioted on the border with Israel for the second time in days, setting fire to tires and detonating explosive devices on the security barrier. The Israel Defense Forces responded with crowd dispersal means and live fire, resulting in five Palestinians being wounded. The Hamas terror group, which rules the territory, has resumed regular violent protests along the frontier, with an increasing number of riots in recent weeks. The recent riots signal a return to a policy of regular mass protests and violence by Hamas and other terror factions, as they seek to draw attention to the worsening living conditions in the impoverished coastal strip.
