Dozens of Palestinians armed with slingshots and setting tire fires have been killed in violent protests on the Israel-Gaza border

Palestine Gaza Protest

Dozens of people have been killed during the already week-long protests in the Palestinian enclave of Gaza.

The Palestinians claim they are protesting against a border blockade of their territory by Israel that has gone on for a decade.

The protests are organized by Hamas, Gaza's ruling political party which is also designated as a terrorist group by Israel, the US, and the European Union. 

The protests started with hundreds to thousands of Palestinians gathering at tent camps set up by organizers near the border with Israel. Palestinians have burned tires and pelted Israeli security personnel with rocks.

Israeli soldiers have also fired on the protestors with live rounds.

Take a look at the protests here:

The protests are focused on Gaza's border with Israel, where protestors have burned tires and thrown rocks at Israeli security.



As the protests started, demonstrators in Palestine's West Bank territory also protested, drawing a response from Israeli forces.



The Israeli's have responded with riot control measures, like tear gas and rubber-coated steel pellets, and water cannons.
