Palestinian media reported that a 19-year-old Palestinian was seriously injured by Israeli gunfire, as others suffered from suffocation after the occupation forces suppressed youths protesting near the Israeli-erected separation fence in the eastern Gaza Strip against the violations against al-Aqsa Mosque and in support of the prisoners in Israeli occupation prisons.

According to the state-run Palestinian news agency WAFA, Israeli occupation forces fired live bullets and tear gas canisters at dozens of Palestinian youths demonstrating for the eighth day in a row.

Hundreds of Palestinian youths taking part in the demonstrations near the separation fence set rubber tires on fire, east of Jabalia, Gaza City, Khan Yunis, and Rafah.

WAFA cited a paramedic at the Palestinian Red Crescent as saying that the occupation forces heavily fired tear gas canisters on paramedics, medical staff, and journalists.
