Gaza, Aug, 30 - 18 Palestinians were injured, yesterday evening, Sunday, as the occupation forces fired bullets and tear gas canisters at the demonstrators participating in the “Night Confusion” activities for the second night in a row near the separation fence eastern Gaza Strip.

According to the Ministry of Health, a Palestinian demonstrator was moderately injured by live ammunition, and others by tear gas and various shrapnel.

Night confusion units called on the young men yesterday to go to the Abu Safiya area to start the night confusion activity at exactly eight o'clock yesterday evening.
