recovering from a bullet in her arm another in the foot and shrapnel in the stomach at only nineteen her lack of hope is painful to hear. before going out i told my mother i wasn't planning to come back home i told her i wanted to become a martyr i even said my last prayer when i was standing next to the young boys one of them got shot i got angry they weren't doing anything we were just chatting together. the boy was carried away and cibrian walked up a little closer to the border fence this by did tear gas being fired in her direction and then. like mariam she fell to the ground. was the bloodiest day in gaza since the war in two thousand and fourteen with israel firing live ammunition at crowds of stone throwers hundreds were admitted to hospital doctors say most for gunshot wounds the hospital is overwhelmed by the amount of

force it's not the first time it has been accused of that it's army certainly and we had the defense minister avigdor lieberman said that the soldiers basically did exactly what they had to do and that in his opinion they all deserved imaginal now the opinion here of these radio leadership and the army is that groups that they deem terrorist organizations like hamas and other islamic factions inside gaza are using these protests or hijacking them so to speak to sort of you know breach the border the you know the fence the barrier fence whatever you want to call it and even israel goes as far as to say planting explosive devices but the reality is you've got tens of thousands of people who are now protesting peacefully at this barrier if we're going to see these protests continue it is a different challenge israel is facing this hasn't happened in gaza before to this scale they're going to have to be very careful as to how they go forward also

because the international community has already condemned israel saying it is used excessive force and there should be an independent investigation which of course the defense minister is very clearly said there won't be one. the turkish president . has called israel's leader a terrorist in response to the violence in gaza earlier benjamin netanyahu criticized turkey's ongoing military operation in the northwestern syrian region of freeing the prime minister tweeting that the israeli army courts will not be lectured by those who have indiscriminately bombed civilian populations for years a reference to turkey. a new tayo sand joke so he's saying that we don't have the shame of invading you are an invader you autocue pieing those planes as invaders at the same time you are a terrorist hate in the air you are very weak and very strange first of all pull yourself together we are dealing with terrorists but you don't care about terrorists because yours is a terrorist state and there's
