i24 NewsAt least three Palestinian rioters were wounded Saturday by Israel Defense Forces (IDF) fire amid rioting along the border fence separating Israel from the Gaza Strip, according to reports coming out of the Hamas-controlled territory.

Palestinians hurled firebombs across the border, burned tires and launched several incendiary balloons into Israeli territory.

Further reports said Palestinians opened fire at Israeli soldiers; it was not clear whether there were casualties on the Israeli side.

Later on Saturday the IDF carried out a strike targeting a Hamas post in the coastal enclave.

The past month saw the resumption of riots and “return marches” along the border, aimed at protesting against the blockade imposed on Gaza by Israel and Egypt, a measure taken to limit the influence of terrorist groups based in the Palestinian territory.
