About 100 rioters gathered in the southern Gaza Strip last week, burning tires and throwing stones at IDF soldiers and the fence, causing damage to the fence following the detonation of explosive devices.
In another section, a number of suspects crossed the perimeter fence from the Gaza Strip into Israeli territory. IDF soldiers shot at them and they fled back into the Gaza Strip.
According to the IDF, "the events were monitored by the forces in the field and IDF observation post, and the IDF responded by crowd dispersing munitions and lethal ammunition in accordance with the Open-Fire Regulations."
