Israeli soldiers attacked, on Monday evening, many Palestinian protesters on lands near the perimeter fence, in the Central District of the besieged Gaza Strip.

The Palestinians also used fireworks and hurled stones at the soldiers.
On Friday, February 22, 2019, Israeli army sharpshooters shot and killed a Palestinian child, identified as Yousef Sa’id ad-Daya, 14, participating in the weekly Great Return March protests, in the Gaza Strip.
On Monday at dawn, Israeli soldiers killed two Palestinians, identified as Yousef Raed Anqawi, 20, and Amir Mahmoud Darraj, 20, and injured a third Palestinian, near Kafr Ni’ma village, west of the central West Bank city of Ramallah.
Palestinian sources said that the incident was a traffic accident, and not a ramming attack as the military claims, as the driver and his passengers could not see the soldiers before hitting them with the car.
The Palestinian car slid due to the wet road, before it struck the army jeep, they added.
Khaldoun ad-Deek, the head of Kafr Ni’ma Village Council, said the accident happened in an area of a difficult terrain with rough and curvy roads.

At least three Palestinians were injured on Sunday night as the Israeli occupation forces opened fire at dozens of peaceful protesters on Gaza border.
Spokesman for the Ministry of Health Ashraf al-Qedra said that three Palestinian youths were injured by Israeli gunfire.
A local source told the PIC reporter that the Israeli forces heavily fired live ammunition and tear gas bombs at the protesters injuring three of them.
The Great March of Return's night demonstrations were halted in November 2018 after Israel had vowed to ease the blockade imposed on the Gaza Strip by expanding the fishing zone, allowing Qatari financial aid into the enclave, and offering other facilities.
Israel showed no commitment to the understandings reached under the auspices of Egypt, Qatar, and the United Nations, so the night demonstrations were resumed weeks ago.
The Palestinian youths taking part in the night protests, who also call themselves "night confusion units", usually fly fire balloons and kites over the border fence, launch fireworks, and chant national songs during the night.
The night confusion units say that their goal is to confuse the Israeli soldiers stationed at the border and keep them on permanent alert.

Dozens of Palestinian young men participated in renewed nighttime “confusion” rallies on Saturday in border areas in northern and southern Gaza.
Local sources told the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) that the Israeli occupation forces behind border fences showered the young protesters with tear gas grenades and opened fire at them as they were rallying in the east of Rafah (south) and Beit Hanoun (north).
Several protesters reportedly suffered from their exposure to tear gas fumes during the events.
A PIC reporter in Gaza said that the protesters torched tires, used loudspeakers to play national songs and sirens, and flashed laser beams at soldiers behind the border fences.
Organizers say such night rallies are aimed at creating confusion among Israeli forces on the border and pressuring Israel to lift its blockade on Gaza.
The night protests are part of a resurgence in border demonstrations following a brief lull after Egypt, Qatar and UN officials have failed to broker a long-term truce between Hamas and Israel.

Media sources said the missiles struck a structure between the cities of Deir al-Balah in central Gaza, and Rafah, in the southern part.
They added that the missiles caused serious damage, and a fire, but did not lead to casualties.

Israeli military incursions inside the besieged Gaza Strip and near the "buffer zone," which lies on both land and sea sides of Gaza, have long been a near-daily occurrence.
The Israeli army also regularly detains and opens fire on unarmed Palestinian fishermen, shepherds, and farmers along the border areas if they approach the buffer zone, as the authorities have not made clear the precise area of the designated zone.
The practice has in effect destroyed much of the agricultural and fishing sector of the blockaded coastal enclave, which has been under an Israeli air, land and sea blockade for nearly 12 years.
