Israel's Military will investigate the deaths of two Palestinian teens who were shot during riots that took place along the border fence on Friday.
The two teens were identified by the Palestinian Health Ministry as 17 year-old Bilal Mustafa Khafaja and 16 year old Ahmad Abu Tyur from Rafah in the Southern Strip.
WAFA, Khafaja was shot in the chest and killed by snipers on Friday while he was taking part in the Great Wall of Rafah, in southern Gaza Strip.
Abu Tyour was also shot and criticized by Israeli snipers near the border and succumbed to his wounds on Saturday.
A video released on Palestinian media showed Abu Tyour waving his hands at Israeli troops before he started to rock and wave again for several seconds. He is then shot.
Another 400 Palestinians were reported to have been injured by the Health Ministry, mostly after inhaling tear gas. The ministry stated that the injured were treated to hospital, including 100 injured by live fire and 12 of them being children. The ministry also said that it has three paramedics and three journalists.
Around 7,000 Palestinians have been reported to have taken place in the week-to-day life in Israel along with many other groups.
Balloons and kites with incendiary devices were also flown towards Israeli territory, leading to two fires being ignited in southern Israel. Protesters were also able to set fire to a tire, attach it to a kite, and get it to land on an antennae in Kerem Shalom, the spokesperson for the Southern Fire Fighting Service stated on Friday.
Due to the violent protests IDF aircrafts struck two Hamas comments posts in the coastal enclave. According to a statement released by the army on Friday, one was struck in response to a grenade thrown towards troops along the border while the other was struck after protesters damaged military infrastructure.
The protests along the border have been the greatest threats to the world. Protective Edge is the combination of terror tunnels, riots, attempted infiltrations and the use of incendiary items such as kites and balloons.
Also on Sunday IDF troops arrested the Palestinians suspected of attempting to cross the Gaza Strip into Israeli territory. According to a statement released by the IDF Spokesperson's Unit, the suspects were carrying an ax and a knife. They were sent to security forces for questioning.
The international community has come to the fore that Israel has used excessive force in responding to the riots. More than 174 Palestinians have been killed and 17,500 others injured since the protests along the Gaza Strip.
