TEHRAN (Defapress)-Sixty-nine injured including 36 kids and 11 women were transported to hospitals, three of them are in serious conditions, Al-Qidra was quoted by Palestinian media as saying.

The sixth round of rallies was called Palestinian workers Friday.

Forty-five Palestinians have so far been killed and over 3,000 others were injured in March of Return protests.

Chief of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) Steering and Monitoring Committee Saeb Erekat earlier in a statement slammed Zionist crimes in Gaza Strip saying, “The Israeli regime deployed its army, including snipers, to attack peaceful Palestinian demonstrators, including unarmed women, men, and children. Israel is trying to make the world believe that a group of unarmed youth represents a threat to its army in order to justify its brutal attacks against Palestinian civilians.”
