1_686564_1_34Gaza, April 6, (Pal Telegraph) Israeli soldiers opened fire on a peaceful march, organized by the Popular Campaign against the security zone, in Atatra in Beit Lahia in the northern Gaza Strip; they marched to condemn the imposition of Israel's security buffer zone along the border with the Gaza Strip.

Mahmoud Zak, the coordinator of the campaign, said that hundreds of local youths and foreign demonstrators arrived to the wired border the separates between Gaza and the territory of 1948 and raised Palestinian flags, then they were shocked after seeing dozens of Israeli soldiers who got out of jeeps and started firing in all directions in a very dangerous and random way.

He indicated that Israeli Special Forces attacked the demonstrators in more than one direction after they reached wired wall and placed Palestinian flags on it.

"We are trying to withdraw from the region and now here we are at a distance of 100 meters,” he said. Noting that placing Palestinian flags on the wired wall is what provoked Israeli soldiers, stressing that, "the flag of Palestine flies on the wired wall to declare our right of freedom”.
