In recent days, Palestinians in Gaza have been staging demonstrations near the Israeli border for six consecutive days in protest of the incursion of fanatical Jews into the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

In response, the Israeli military has deployed heavily armed units and snipers along the border to intervene in these protests.
