Two more Palestinians, including a 15-year-old boy, have been killed by Israeli army fire on the Gaza border, Palestinian health officials have said.
The deaths bring the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces on Friday to four, in the fourth weekly protest in the border area.
Some 445 Palestinians were injured in the day’s protests, including 96 who were wounded by Israeli army fire.
Israel is closely guarding the fence and warns it will not tolerate attempts to damage the fence or breach it and enter its territory.
It has accused Hamas of using the protests as a cover for carrying out attacks.
Several Israeli communities are located near the border.
