Rioters set off fires, throw Molotov cocktails and rocks at border fence
Palestinians rioters in the Gaza Strip on Sunday evening set tires on fire and hurled improvised explosive devices and rocks at the border fence separating the enclave from Israel.
Israeli security forces responded with tear gas and the occasional round of live fire.
Similar scenes played out in the vicinity of the border fence on Saturday night, followed by retaliatory strikes by Israel Defense Forces against terrorist targets in the coastal enclave.
Additionally, Gazan terrorists kept flying incendiary balloons into Israeli territory, torching agricultural lands.
A Hamas spokesman said that "the Zionist occupation bears all the repercussions and consequences of the tightening of the siege on Gaza and the escalation of the humanitarian crisis among its residents. No calm or stability will be achieved as long as our people lack a free and dignified life."
