Fifty Palestinians were injured on Friday in a peaceful return march, the health ministry said.
The Ministry of Health said that among the injured were 8 medical personnel and a journalist. Among the injuries, 19 were wounded by live ammunition.
Thousands of citizens participating in the return march organized near the separation fence in the eastern areas of the Gaza Strip.
The demonstrators fired dozens of incendiary balloons towards the settlements near the Gaza Strip, throwing stones and Molotov cocktails at the Israeli occupation forces stationed on the other side of the fence.
Israeli sources said that 14 fires were carried out in the Gaza envelope by fire balloons.
Israel and Hamas, under Egyptian and international auspices, reached an agreement today that will lead to the introduction of fuel and the expansion of the fishing area off the coast of Gaza, in return for the cessation of the firing of balloons, explosive and incendiary, and stop Israel from targeting the demonstrators.
