Since March 2018, Palestinian protesters have been demonstrating every Friday east of the strip near the fence separating the besieged Gaza Strip from Israel, calling for their right to return.
At least 240 Palestinians have been killed since the demonstrations began, most by Israeli fire during border clashes but also by air and tank attacks.
