Seven Palestinians were injured by Israeli occupation forces during clashes near the eastern border of the Gaza Strip on Friday, Palestinian Health Ministry spokesman Ashraf al Qedra said.

One of the seven sustained a serious injury in his head, he added.

Earlier, Israeli forces opened fire and teargas bombs after dozens of Palestinians staged protests in several areas in Gaza Strip.

Meanwhile, a Palestinian farmer was injured with a bullet shot by Israeli forces in northern the Gaza Strip.

He was moved to a nearby hospital to receive medical treatment.

It is worth mentioning that the eastern and northern areas of the Gaza Strip are witnessing clashes between Palestinian protesters and Israeli forces every Friday.
