State of Palestine: Israel wounds numerous Palestinians during clashes *GRAPHIC*

At least eight Palestinians were wounded when violent clashes erupted between Israeli occupation forces and Palestinian youth at the edge of the Bureij refugee camp located in the Gaza Strip, Thursday. Israeli soldiers reportedly opened fire first over Palestinians, who responded by throwing stones with their slings. Tear gas canisters were also used by Israeli troops. Those activists injured where rushed into an ambulance deployed at the site and then transferred to Shuhada'a Al-Aqsa Hospital. Violence has escalated across the Occupied Palestinian Territories and Israel in recent weeks, with several deaths reported including the shooting of Palestinian protesters by Israeli forces. Since the start of October, at least 52 Palestinians have been killed in shootings and clashes with Israeli forces, while nine Israelis at least have died as a result of attacks.
