<p><strong>More than 75 Palestinians have been injured by
Israeli forces during anti-occupation protests near
the fence between the besieged Gaza Strip and the
occupied territories.</strong></p>
<p>Ashraf al-Qedra, the spokesman for the Gazan Health
Ministry, said on his official Twitter account that 75
people, including 18 children and two women, were
injured during the Friday rallies.</p>
<p>The spokesman noted that 42 of the wounded were hit
with live ammunition.</p>
<p>He added that a medic and a journalist were also
injured on Friday.</p>
<p>Palestinians have been holding weekly rallies in the
area since last year to protest the siege on Gaza and
stress the right to return of the refugees who have fled
Israeli aggression since 1948.</p>
<p>At least 305 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli
forces ever since the anti-occupation protest rallies
began in the Gaza Strip on March 30, 2018. Over 18,000
Palestinians have also sustained injuries.</p>
<p>In March, a United Nations (UN) fact-finding mission
found that Israeli forces committed rights violations
during their crackdown against the Palestinian
protesters in Gaza that may amount to war crimes.</p>
<p>Gaza has been under Israeli siege since June 2007,
which has caused a decline in living standards.</p>
<p>Israel has also launched three major wars against the
enclave since 2008, killing thousands of Gazans each
time and shattering the impoverished territory’s already
poor infrastructure.</p>
