Dozens of Palestinians wounded

GAZA CITY, Palestinian Territories: Dozens of Palestinians were wounded along the Israel-Gaza border fence during weekly protests on Friday, the health ministry in the enclave said. At least 83 people were hospitalised in Gaza, the ministry said in a statement, as thousands again demonstrated along the heavily fortified border.

It did not say how many of those were gunshot wounds but three people were reported to be in critical condition. Numbers were lower than recent Fridays, however, an AFP correspondent said.
