At 4:00pm on Monday, 2 April 2018, Israeli forces located on the southeastern borders of Burij refugee camp in Middle Area governorate opened fire and launched tear-gas canisters at tens of protesters joining the “Great Return March” demonstration near the eastern borders. The demonstration has been called for by a national committee of Palestinian factions to mark Land Day. Israeli forces use live ammunition, rubber-coated metal bullets and tear-gas canisters against the protesters, two of whom were injured—one moderately wounded by live fire, and the other lightly wounded in his lower parts. Israeli shooting at protesters continued until 7:30pm on the same day.
