加沙當局：加沙以色列邊界暴力事件致1人死，數百人受傷
The Gaza Health Ministry said one Palestinian was killed and more than 900 others were injured Friday by Israeli troops, who used gunfire and tear gas to repel numerous attempts by Palestinians to cross the border fence separating the Palestinian-governed Gaza Strip from Israel.
The violence erupted after thousands of Palestinians staged a protest along the border, the third weekly protest scheduled through mid-May. The protests already have resulted in dozens killed and thousands injured.
The protesters gathered at tent camps several hundred meters from the border fence. Smaller groups of protesters approached the fence burning Israeli flags and tires and hurling stones, prompting Israeli soldiers to fire live bullets and tear gas. Israel's military said some protesters in the crowd threw firebombs and explosive devices while others tried to breach the border fence.
The Gaza Health Ministry said a 28-year-old man was fatally shot. It said more than 900 others protesters were injured, 223 of them by gunshots. Ten nurses and paramedics and two journalists were among the wounded, according to the ministry.
The protesters are demanding an end to the decade-old blockade and a return of Palestinian refugees to what is now Israel, where their ancestors lived before being forced to flee after the establishment of Israel in 1948. Israel repeatedly has ruled out any right of their return over concerns Israel would lose its Jewish majority.
Some rights groups maintain Israel's open-fire rules are unlawful because troops potentially can use lethal force against unarmed protesters. Amnesty International demanded Friday that Israel "put an immediate end to the excessive and lethal force being used to suppress Palestinian demonstrations in Gaza." It also reiterated its demand for an independent probe into the killings.
加沙衛生部表示，以色列部隊星期五開槍并釋放催淚瓦斯擊退大量試圖越過分隔巴勒斯坦人治下的加沙地帶和以色列之間的邊界柵欄的巴勒斯坦人，有一名巴勒斯坦人被打死，9百多人受傷。
暴力事件是在成千上萬巴勒斯坦人沿著邊界舉行抗議活動時爆發的。這是預定一直舉行到五月中旬的第三周抗議活動。抗議已經導致數十人喪生，數千人受傷。
抗議者聚集在距離邊界柵欄幾百米之遙的帳篷營地。一些小股的抗議者焚燒以色列國旗并投擲石塊向邊界柵欄行進，導致以色列士兵發射實彈和催淚瓦斯。以色列軍方表示，人群中的一些抗議者投擲燃燒彈和爆炸裝置，其他人則試圖翻過邊界柵欄。
加沙衛生部表示，一名28歲的男子中彈身亡，另有9百多抗議者受傷，其中223人受了槍傷，傷者當中包括10名護士和醫療助理人員以及兩名記者。
抗議者要求結束歷時10年的封鎖，巴勒斯坦難民返回現在被以色列占領的土地。這些難民的祖先在1948年以色列建國前一直居住在那里，后來被迫逃亡。以色列多次排除他們返回那里的任何可能性，擔心會失去猶太人占多數的局面。
一些人權組織堅稱以色列的開槍法規非法，因為軍隊可能會使用致命武力對付手無寸鐵的抗議者。國際特赦組織星期五要求以色列“立即停止在加沙地帶壓制巴勒斯坦示威者時使用過度和致命的武力。”該組織還重申要求對這些殺戮事件進行獨立調查。
