rooster59 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Israeli gunfire kills Gaza teens during border protests Women holding Palestinian flags run away from tear gas fired by Israeli forces during a protest at the Israel-Gaza border fence, in the southern Gaza Strip February 8, 2019. REUTERS/Ibraheem Abu Mustafa GAZA (Reuters) - Israeli troops shot dead two Palestinian teenagers including a 14-year-old boy during Gaza border protests on Friday, Palestinian health officials said. Israel's military said it had opened fire in response to explosives and rocks hurled at the border fence. Palestinians have been staging weekly protests since last March at the border of Gaza, an enclave controlled by the Islamist militant group Hamas. The enclave's health ministry says more than 220 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli troops at the protests. One Israeli soldier has died. Gaza health officials said one of the youths shot dead on Friday was 18 and the other 14. Israel says it has no choice but to use deadly force at the protests to defend the frontier from militants trying to destroy the barrier and infiltrate. An Israeli military spokesman said troops had faced off on Friday with more than 6,000 Palestinians, some of whom threw rocks and "a number of explosive devices, which exploded on the Gaza side of the fence". The spokesman said soldiers used riot dispersal equipment and opened fired "in accordance with standard operating procedures." Gaza is home to 2 million Palestinians, nearly all of them the stateless descendents of people who fled or were driven out of Israel on its founding in 1948. Israel and Egypt imposed a security blockade on the enclave after Hamas seized control of it in 2007, which the World Bank says has reduced the local economy to a state of collapse. Israel has fought three wars against Hamas in the past decade. Palestinians say the weekly protests are led by civil society groups demanding an easing of the blockade and recognitition of their right to return to homes in Israel. Israel says militants use the demonstrations to threaten the border and provoke violence. -- © Copyright Reuters 2019-02-09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That you bring it up again in this manner is about as expected. But if you insist, define "work". As usual, no questions as to what leadership allows (never mind prompts) kids to partake in violent protests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't agree more! #BDS A simple choice of not purchasing things made by ISRAEL will help the cause. So I do. But I dont even think I buy anything that is made there anyway ha. Being outspoken online is more suitable for me. The Israeli government really is nasty. They have so much influence within the U.S. it's ridiculous. AIPAC etc. Why do I say ridiculous? Because it is so bad that in some states, you may loose your job for being in support of BDS or outspoken about the occupiers. They approved legislature for such actions.

Dam I should throw them away your right. Ehh I'll still keep being outspoken about it. My lack of complete devotion to #BDS doesn't alter or give credit for #Israel's disgusting, horrific, and extremist driven agendas. Also, the influence in my country's government! Israel also influences college campuses too. There are reports they pay people to protest or show support for them outside at gatherings. Wow. How low can you get?

What did you want me to consider? Parents who allow kids on front lines? in the line of fire? Their governance of choice who only invest in weapons and tunnels to attack Israel? They wanted Gaza back, they fought for it, they got it and what did they do the nest day? fire 10 000 rockets into Israel So what exactly did you want me to consider?
