Hundreds of Palestinians began gathering on the Gaza border today for the sixth week of protests in which dozens have already been killed by Israeli fire.
At a protest camp east of Gaza City, several hundred people prepared for demonstrations expected to gain momentum in the mid-afternoon following the main weekly Muslim prayers.
Organisers said part of today's plans included attempting to fly dozens of kites, some carrying Molotov cocktails, over the border fence.
A 32-year-old man wearing a camouflage hat with his face masked, a traditional keffiyeh scarf around his neck, said they hoped to fly around 50 kites.
"We hope to return back to our land, which is occupied," said the man who declined to give his name. "I'm not afraid, only of Allah."
"They have no solution for the kites."
