At least, 87 Palestinians were injured by live ammunition and rubber-coated bullets belonging to Israeli forces.

Israeli soldiers who guarded the Gaza-Israel fence fired rubber-coated steel bullets at Palestinians who had gathered in many camps along the border, injuring 87 Palestinians, including a journalist and medical officer.

According to Wafa’s on Saturday August 31, some of the injured were taken to hospital and others treated at field hospitals.
