The Hamas-run “health ministry” in Gaza claimed on Friday that dozens of Palestinian Arabs were wounded in the weekly violent riots along the Israel-Gaza border fence.

A spokeswoman for the IDF said some 10,500 Palestinian Arabs were taking part in the events, some of whom were throwing stones at soldiers.
