Israel reopens Gaza border after day of protest
Tel Aviv - Israel reopened border crossings into Gaza on Sunday, security sources told dpa, amid a major flare-up of protests and rocket fire along the border over the weekend.
Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip again fired missiles into the Israeli border area on Saturday night, after tens of thousands demonstrated to mark the one-year anniversary of the Great March of Return protests. Meanwhile four Palestinian demonstrators were killed and more than 300 injured in clashes with the Israeli army on the Gaza border on Friday night and Saturday after violence erupted between protestors and Israeli soldiers.
