The incident occurred during a major protest on the Gazan side of the border in support of the return of Palestinian refugees (and their descendants) to their former homes in Israel.The IDF described the protest as “a violent riot,” asserting that participants threw stones and Molotov cocktails at Israeli security personnel as well as opened fire on them, attempted to infiltrate Israel and set rubber tires alight. Pictures and videos appear to show that some protesters took part in violent actions.In the past week, several IDF officials called on Palestinians not to approach the border fence, warning them that they would be putting themselves in danger.Young man appears to be shot in the back as he runs away from Israeli positions carrying a tyre (21 seconds in) pic.twitter.com/80JagMhYHz
