Scores of Palestinian citizens were wounded on Friday when Israeli occupation forces (IOF) opened fire at the peaceful protesters in the Great March of Return in the Gaza Strip.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza said that 63 Palestinians were injured by live ammunition and tear gas canisters, including four medics.

Hundreds of Palestinians marched on the 76th Friday of the Great March of Return along the border between the Gaza Strip and the 1948 occupied Palestinian territories.

The marchers voiced their rejection of the conspiracies aimed at liquidating the Palestinian cause, particularly the Deal of the Century, and the US-backed Israeli settlement policies in the West Bank and Jerusalem.

Since the start of the Great March of Return on 30 March 2018, the IOF has killed 324 Palestinians, including children, and injured over 32,000.
