A Palestinian demonstrator uses a slingshot to hurl rocks towards Israeli soldiers during a rally near the Israel-Gaza border fence east of Gaza City on September 22, 2023. AFPPIX: An Israeli drone hit outposts in the Gaza Strip on Friday as violent protests persisted along the separation fence, while in a separate incident, troops shot dead a Palestinian fighter during a raid in the occupied West Bank.
The protests have come during a renewed push to restart efforts for Israeli-Palestinian peace as part of a potential US-backed accord between Israel and Saudi Arabia being pursued by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In Gaza, Hamas officials have defended the demonstrations, ostensibly held to protest issues including the treatment of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails and Jewish visits to the Al-Aqsa mosque compound, a site holy to both Muslims and Jews, who know it as the Temple Mount.
In response to the clashes, Israel has shut the Erez crossing point, preventing many of the 18,000 Gazans who have permits to work in the West Bank and Israel from getting to their jobs, cutting off much needed cash to the enclave.
