| I did not take part in the wider demonstrations in Gaza today after Friday prayers because the situation is very risky and not the same as how the protests are treated in the West Bank. The protesters there can see the Israeli soldiers at the checkpoints but in Gaza, you can’t see any. They’re all hiding in faraway fortified sites on the border, however, but snipers are shooting people. | I did not take part in the wider demonstrations in Gaza today after Friday prayers because the situation is very risky and not the same as how the protests are treated in the West Bank.

| Though the protesters do not pose any threat to the Israeli soldiers the fire is excessive. The protests are not saying that they want to liberate their country… All they want to say is that the world has to stop Israeli tyranny, arrogance and their inhuman practices against us. I have just got back from Al-Shifa hospital, people were saying that all the injuries are in the heads. This is very risky and those who are protesting are really putting themselves at risk. | Though the protesters do not pose any threat to the Israeli soldiers the fire is excessive.

| No military confrontation can happen between the occupation forces and common people.
