Two Palestinian teenagers - aged 13 and 15 - were shot dead by IDF fire on Saturday during disturbances close to the border fence in the Khan Younis area, as violent confrontations continued to rage along Gaza's borders throughout the weekend.
The IDF fears an escalation as a result of the deaths and following rocket fire from the Gaza Strip late Friday night, Iron Dome batteries were deployed in Be'er Sheva and Ofakim.
On Friday, IDF fire killed seven Palestinians and wounded 60 more during demonstrations in which hundreds of protesters marched to the border fence in the northern Gaza Strip.
