At approximately 3:00 pm on Friday 28 February 2014, Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) opened sporadic fire at a peaceful demonstration against the access restricted area organized by some Palestinian young men and children in Bouret Abu Samra border area north of Beit Lahiya in North Gaza district.
The shooting continued until 5:00 pm on the same day.
No injuries or causalities were reported.
According to Al Mezan’s filed investigations, Palestinian young men lately resorted to demonstrations near the borders in protest against preventing Palestinian farmers from working and approaching the separation fence.
The demonstrations were well organized although they weren’t prepared by an official side.
It’s worth mentioning that the demonstration took place weekly in the east of Jabaliya, but they came to Bouret Abu Samra area because the Palestinian police imposed some limits at them and prevented them from approaching the border fence.
The police spokesman justified these procedures that they preserve the lives of the participants.
