加沙当局:加沙以色列边界暴力事件致1人死,数百人受伤

加沙卫生部表示,以色列部队星期五开枪并释放催泪瓦斯击退大量试图越过分隔巴勒斯坦人治下的加沙地带和以色列之间的边界栅栏的巴勒斯坦人,有一名巴勒斯坦人被打死,9百多人受伤。

暴力事件是在成千上万巴勒斯坦人沿着边界举行抗议活动时爆发的。这是预定一直举行到五月中旬的第三周抗议活动。抗议已经导致数十人丧生,数千人受伤。

抗议者聚集在距离边界栅栏几百米之遥的帐篷营地。一些小股的抗议者焚烧以色列国旗并投掷石块向边界栅栏行进,导致以色列士兵发射实弹和催泪瓦斯。以色列军方表示,人群中的一些抗议者投掷燃烧弹和爆炸装置,其他人则试图翻过边界栅栏。

加沙卫生部表示,一名28岁的男子中弹身亡,另有9百多抗议者受伤,其中223人受了枪伤,伤者当中包括10名护士和医疗助理人员以及两名记者。

抗议者要求结束历时10年的封锁,巴勒斯坦难民返回现在被以色列占领的土地。这些难民的祖先在1948年以色列建国前一直居住在那里,后来被迫逃亡。以色列多次排除他们返回那里的任何可能性,担心会失去犹太人占多数的局面。

一些人权组织坚称以色列的开枪法规非法,因为军队可能会使用致命武力对付手无寸铁的抗议者。国际特赦组织星期五要求以色列“立即停止在加沙地带压制巴勒斯坦示威者时使用过度和致命的武力。”该组织还重申要求对这些杀戮事件进行独立调查。

Gaza Ministry: 1 Dead, Hundreds Injured as Violence Erupts Along Gaza-Israeli Border

The Gaza Health Ministry said one Palestinian was killed and more than 900 others were injured Friday by Israeli troops, who used gunfire and tear gas to repel numerous attempts by Palestinians to cross the border fence separating the Palestinian-governed Gaza Strip from Israel.

The violence erupted after thousands of Palestinians staged a protest along the border, the third weekly protest scheduled through mid-May. The protests already have resulted in dozens killed and thousands injured.

The protesters gathered at tent camps several hundred meters from the border fence. Smaller groups of protesters approached the fence burning Israeli flags and tires and hurling stones, prompting Israeli soldiers to fire live bullets and tear gas. Israel's military said some protesters in the crowd threw firebombs and explosive devices while others tried to breach the border fence.

The Gaza Health Ministry said a 28-year-old man was fatally shot. It said more than 900 others protesters were injured, 223 of them by gunshots. Ten nurses and paramedics and two journalists were among the wounded, according to the ministry.

The protesters are demanding an end to the decade-old blockade and a return of Palestinian refugees to what is now Israel, where their ancestors lived before being forced to flee after the establishment of Israel in 1948. Israel repeatedly has ruled out any right of their return over concerns Israel would lose its Jewish majority.

Some rights groups maintain Israel's open-fire rules are unlawful because troops potentially can use lethal force against unarmed protesters. Amnesty International demanded Friday that Israel "put an immediate end to the excessive and lethal force being used to suppress Palestinian demonstrations in Gaza." It also reiterated its demand for an independent probe into the killings.
