Concerning Hamas, the resolution "condemns the terror attacks by Hamas and other militant groups against Israel from the Gaza Strip, including the firing of rockets, infiltration into Israeli territory and the building of tunnels" and "expresses its concern that Hamas seems to be aiming at escalating tensions", referring to the scheduled protest this Friday.

White House envoy Jason Greenblatt, a member of President Donald Trump's Mideast team, said on social media that Palestinians in Gaza have a "right to protest their dire humanitarian circumstances".

Israeli forces on Friday dropped leaflets in Gaza Strip from an aircraft warning Palestinian to avoid approaching its border fence ahead of expected protests slated for later today. The six-week protest is set to end on May 15th, the 70th anniversary of the Palestinian Nakba, or "catastrophe", when the state of Israel was created, leaving some 750,000 Palestinians and millions of their descendants as refugees.

It accuses Hamas, the Islamist movement that runs the Gaza Strip and with whom it has fought three wars since 2008, of using the protests as cover to carry out violence.

The EU Parliament "strongly condemns the persistent tactic of Hamas of using civilians for the goal of shielding terrorist activities", while it "recognizes Israel's security challenges and the need to protect its territory and borders while using proportionate means".

Some carefully created 60-cm-long kites in the colours of the Palestinian flag. Stay away from the border fence, do not attempt to damage it.

The two Palestinians were injured just as hundreds of Palestinians marched on their lands, near the border fence, on the fourth week of the "Great March of Return".

Palestinians in the Gaza Strip announce a major, peaceful demonstration to be held on the border to claim the right to return to lands now held by Israel.

Other than flaming kites, protestors are burning rubber tiresin a bid to obscure the vision of Israeli snipers lined up on the border.

Kites are now the latest, though they are small and unlikely to cause major damage.

On Friday, protesters began gathering at sit-in protest camps near the border. Several hundred people have also been wounded by Israeli sharpshooters. We will not allow, here on the Gaza border, them to hurt us.

Jamal al-Fadi, a professor of political science in Gaza, said weeks of protest had led to new "means of struggle".

He said he hoped it would result in "burned crops".
