sintesi personale
Uno degli uccisi , Ali al-Ashqar, 17 anni, è stato colpito alla testa con munizioni vere a est di Gaza City. Almeno 66 sono i feriti , 38 dei quali con pallottole vere,alcuni seriamente.La manifestazione contro il blocco è giunta alla 73 settimana L'evento di questa settimana aveva come slogan: "Proteggere il fronte interno palestinese".Nelle ultime settimane Hamas ha cercato di limitare le singole unità al fine di ridurre il numero delle vittime e dei feriti."Israele sta intensificando gli attacchi contro i manifestanti non violenti e sarà ritenuto responsabile di questi crimini", ha detto il portavoce di Hamas Hazem Qasem venerdì. "La politica di prendere di mira civili non dissuaderà il popolo palestinese dal continuare a lottare per la propria libertà e per il ritorno alla propria terra".
Il 25enne Bader Adin Abu Mousa è stato ucciso la scorsa settimana in circostanze simili . 75 persone sono state ferite, almeno 42 da proiettili veri , durante la manifestazione che ha portato 6.000 persone alla barriera di confine.
Lo status quo di Gaza è fragile, gli abitanti devono affrontare situazioni sempre più terribili. All'inizio di questa settimana il Qatar ha annunciato di voler dimezzare il sussidio per il carburante che dà a Gaza , facendo precipitare la striscia nell'oscurità per altre tre ore al giorno. La leadership politica di Gaza sembra sempre più preoccupata per la situazione ,definita da alcuni un " vulcano che sta per esplodere ".
Two Palestinians were killed by Israeli security forces during clashes near the Gaza border fence on Friday, the health ministry in the Strip said.Ali al-Ashqar, 17, was shot in the head east of Jabalya, while 14-year-old Khaled Abu Bakr Fouri was shot dead east of Gaza City. At least 66 were also wounded in demonstrations along the border, 38 from gunfire, the ministry said.
"Israel is stepping up attacks against nonviolent protesters and it will be held accountable for these crimes," Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qasem said on Friday.
"The policy of targeting civilian civilians will not deter the Palestinian people from continuing to fight for their freedom, and the return of their land," a statement added.
The injuries happened during the 73rd weekly 'March of Return' event, which sees thousands of Gazans congregate near the border fence with Israel to protest the ongoing blockade. According to an official statement by the IDF, 6,200 people took part in this week's event, entitled 'Protecting the Palestinian Home Front.'

According to the IDF, Friday's demonstrations were particularly violent, with protesters throwing multuiple incendiary devices, and damaging the fence in several areas. The IDF confirmed they arrested two unarmed Palestinians that had crossed the fence, and reported several others entering Israeli territory before returning immediately into the Strip.The demonstrations frequently turn into violent confrontations with Israeli armed forces, with the IDF using often drastic crowd control measures to prevent incursions into Israeli territory. In recent weeks, the organizers, led by Hamas, have tried to restrain individual units in order to lower the number of casualties and injured.
25-year-old Bader Adin Abu Mousa was killed last week in similar circumstances. 75 people were reported wounded, at least 42 by live bullets, during the demonstration, which brought 6,000 to the border fence.
The status quo in Gaza is fragile, with inhabitants facing ever dire circumstances. Earlier this week, Qatar announced it would cut the fuel subsidy it gives to Gaza by half, potentially plunging Gaza back into darkness for three more hours every day.
While Israel heads to the polls in an unprecedented second election in one year, Gaza's political leadership seems increasingly worried about the situation in the strip, with some calling it a "volcano about to erupt."
