Israeli troops shot dead three protesters along the Gaza border yesterday, hours after the United Nations human rights chief criticized Israel for using "excessive force" against demonstrators, the Reuters website reports today (April 28, 2018).
Israeli troops have killed 41 Palestinians and wounded more than 5,000 others since Gaza residents began staging weekly Friday protests along the border fence on March 30 to demand the right of return for Palestinian refugees.
The troops were holed up behind fortifications on the other side of the 25-mile border fence and fired live ammunition and tear gas at around 12,000 protesters at five locations on the Gaza side.
Gaza medical officials said two protesters who were struck by bullets were in critical condition in a hospital and 600 others were wounded.
