At least 60 Palestinians were injured by Israeli forces' live fire during clashes on Friday afternoon at the eastern borders of the besieged Gaza Strip.

Iran press/Middle East: The Palestinian Ministry of Health confirmed that 7 paramedics and a journalist were among the 60 Palestinians injured in the besieged Gaza Strip.

Palestinian protests had gathered at the eastern borders of Gaza, Iran Press reported.

Israeli forces opened with live fire and tear gas canisters targeting Palestinian protesters.

"The Great March of Return" protests were launched on March 30th by thousands of Palestinian civilians in Gaza -- which has suffered from a decade-long Israeli siege -- who took to the borders to demand their right of return as refugees to their original homeland, now in present-day Israel.

The 'Great March of Return' protests started on 30 March 2018, and up until now, 233 unarmed Palestinian protesters have been shot and martyred by the Zionist military, with a further 24,500 being injured. 

Israeli soldiers and snipers use 'live rounds' against unarmed peaceful protesters, something which has been widely condemned by the international community.
