IDF: Palestinians throw grenades, explosives at troops on Gaza border

Army says 15,000 take part in clashes, damage 'security infrastructure' ahead of expected culmination of protests next week.

A Palestinian is reportedly injured by IDF fire as the weekly “March of Return” clashes resume on the border between the Gaza Strip and Israel.
The Palestinian is said to be launching a burning kite toward Israel when he is wounded.
It would be the first known IDF shooting of a Palestinian kite flyer.
During the recent border clashes, Palestinians have adopted the tactic of kites carrying flaming objects over the border in an attempt to set nearby farmland on fire.
