On Friday, 20 April 2018, Israeli forces located on the eastern borders in Malaka area in eastern Al Zaitoun neighborhood in eastern Gaza city opened fire and launched tear gas grenades at tens of Palestinians demonstrating near the separation fence. The demonstration was part of the “Great Return March”, called for by a national committee of Palestinian factions to demand Palestinian refugees’ right to return to their homes from which they were expelled in 1948 and 1967. Israeli forces used live ammunition, rubber-coated steel bullets and tear-gas grenades in dispersing protesters, causing the injury of 107, including 19 children and one journalist—51 by live fire. Doctors at Al Shifa hospital assessed these casualties to range from light to moderate. Israeli forces also attacked with a tear-gas grenade a mobile station of the Manar Media company that was in the field. Israeli shooting continued until the evening of the same day.
