A Palestinian woman was killed and at least 14 other people were wounded by Israeli fire on Friday, Haaretz daily reported. The fire was opened during protests at the fence separating the Gaza Strip from Israel. A spokesman for the Health Ministry in the enclave, Ashraf al-Qudra told AFP the woman, who was not identified, was shot in the head east of Gaza City. According to Kidra, that 25 Palestinians were wounded by Israeli gunfire. The Israeli army has not immediately commented on the statements, saying, however, that around 12,000 Palestinians had gathered in multiple sites along the border. The rioters have burned tires and hurled blocks, explosive devices and grenades towards Israeli troops and at the Gaza Strip security fence, an army spokesperson said. The Haaretz report said that Egyptian intelligence delegation met with Hamas political chief and Palestinian Authority officials in effort to prevent further violence.
