Hundreds of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip rioted on the border with Israel on Monday afternoon, for the third time in days, despite Israeli sanctions and an airstrike on a post belonging to the Hamas terror group that rules the territory.
In response to the riot, the sole pedestrian crossing with the Gaza Strip — shuttered since Friday — would remain closed for at least another day, Israeli authorities announced Monday night.
The Israel Defense Forces said the rioters set fire to tires and detonated explosive devices on the security barrier.
Troops responded with crowd dispersal means and live fire in some cases.
The Hamas-run health ministry in the Gaza Strip said two Palestinians were wounded by Israeli fire.
