Israeli regime forces have killed two Palestinian teenagers and injured 10 more people in the besieged Gaza Strip in clashes with protesters near the border fence in southern Gaza.
Local medics with Gaza’s emergency medical services said on Saturday that 13-year-old Marwan Barbakh and 15-year-old Khalil Othman were shot dead by Israeli police forces during anti-Israel protests and clashes east of the city’s Khan Yunis neighborhood.
The latest killings by Israeli forces came a day after similar clashes killed seven Palestinian protesters and wounded 145 more in the bloodiest battles in the Israeli- blockaded territory since the summer 2014 war.

This is while the Israeli military claimed that "Palestinians entered the perimeter along the security fence, approached the fence, hauled rocks and rolled burning tires at it" during a "violent riot" in southern Gaza.
Israeli troops fired warning shots in the air, but when that failed to stop the Palestinian protesters, "they fired toward main instigators", an Israeli spokeswoman further claimed as cited in an AFP report.
According to the report, clashes between the angry Palestinians and the Israeli regime forces were also raging near the Erez crossing on the enclave’s northern border, east of Gaza City, as well as in central Gaza, where the Israeli military claimed "tens of suspects breached the fence."

An Israeli military statement further stated that five Palestinians were captured by its forces and taken into custody for “questioning.”
The report further invoked fears that clashes between the Israeli military forces and Palestinian protesters threatened to “spiral out of control” following the Gaza killings on Saturday as well as two stabbings near the Old City in al-Quds (Jerusalem) and more clashes in the West Bank.
The persisting protest rallies has shaken annexed east al-Quds and the occupied West Bank, with Palestinians throwing stones and firebombs at the Israeli regime forces, who have resorted to the use of live fire, rubber bullets, tear gas and stun grenades against the protesters.

This is while the leader of the Gaza-based Hamas resistance movement, Ismail Haniya, called for the continuation of protest action against the Israeli regime and another ‘intifada’ movement.
Moreover on Saturday, Jordan's parliament censured "the crimes committed by Israeli forces in the West Bank and Gaza", describing Israeli violence against the Palestinians as "state terrorism."
Meanwhile, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has spoken out against violence, calling for "peaceful, popular resistance."
The latest developments came as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the emergency call-up of three reserve border police companies to reinforce military forces in east al-Quds and across Israel.
