GAZA - Tens of thousands of Palestinians rallied in heavy rain at the Israel-Gaza border on Saturday to mark the first anniversary of a new wave of protests, facing off against Israeli tanks and troops massed on the fortified frontier.
Palestinian protesters threw rocks, grenades and burning tires towards soldiers across the border fence, the Israeli military said. Despite the bad weather, an Israeli security official said the turnout was larger than for the usual weekly protests and that it also appeared organizers were trying to keep violence from erupting.
A Gaza rocket attack wounded seven Israelis north of Tel Aviv on Monday and, in response, Israel launched a wave of air strikes and ramped up its forces at the border. Leaders of the armed Palestinian militant groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad said that progress has been made in the truce talks, but Hamas said they had a list of demands from Israel that they wanted to see fulfilled.
