Deadly Blast in Gaza Border: 6 Killed While Planting Bomb

Six Palestinians were killed and 25 others were wounded when an explosive device they were attempting to detonate prematurely exploded during a riot on the Israeli border. The rally, organized to commemorate Israel's pullout from the Gaza Strip, saw hundreds of rioters hurling explosive devices and grenades at the security barrier. The Israeli military responded with riot dispersal means. The incident suggests a return to regular mass protests by Hamas and other terror factions in Gaza, as they seek to draw attention to worsening living conditions in the strip.
