The Israeli army admitted on Saturday, that in just a few hours, Palestinian resistance fired more than 170 rockets into Israel, but only 30 of them were intercepted by Israel's so-called iron dome anti-missile defence.

Israeli warplanes early on Saturday hit several locations in the blockaded Gaza strip.

Also, a 15-year-old Palestinian boy was martyred by live rounds fired by  Israeli soldiers, east of Gaza City, during protests near Gaza's  border fence on Friday, according to health officials in Gaza.

The Israeli regime’s warplanes have repeatedly hit various parts of the Gaza Strip during the past decade.

Hamas has repeatedly stressed that the movement has a legitimate right to respond to any Israeli aggression against the people of Palestine.

Palestinians in Gaza have been rallying every Friday since March 30 as a part of a peaceful campaign known as the Great March of Return.

So far, Israeli forces have martyred about 140 Palestinians, including over a dozen children, and injured thousands of others during the rallies.
