Israeli soldiers were forced to open fire after “several violent riots” erupted in the northern Gaza Strip, as “hundreds of Palestinians” tried to damage to Israel’s separation fence, an army spokesperson told Maan.

Israeli soldiers first fired tear gas and warning shots, which were ignored. The IDF then used live ammunition to quell the angry crowd.

One man from the militant Islamic Jihad group was killed in the clashes to the east of the Jabaliya refugee camp, Reuters and Israeli news outlets reported.
