Thousands of Palestinians on Saturday marched along the eastern border of the Gaza Strip to mark the first anniversary of the Great March of Return.
The Ministry of Health announced that four protesters were killed by Israeli gunfire, and 316 were injured, including 86 children, 29 women, 3 medics, and 6 journalists.
The martyrs were identified as Mohammed Saad, 20, Adham Amara, Tamer Abu al-Kheir, and Belal al-Najjar. The three are aged 17.
The head of Hamas's political bureau Ismail Haneyya and the Egyptian delegation to Gaza attended the protest camp held east of Gaza city, the PIC reporter said.
A general strike was announced by the Higher National Committee for the Great March of Return and Breaking the Siege earlier in the day in all Gaza institutions in commemoration of the Palestinian Land Day and the first anniversary of the border demonstration.
Spokesman for the Gaza Ministry of Interior and National Security Iyad al-Bozom said in a statement that the ministry deployed 8,000 of its security forces along the border to help and protect the demonstrators.

The Israeli occupation army have met the peaceful protesters with excessive force, killing 278 and injuring over 31,000, about 500 of whom are in critical condition.

On the eve of the first anniversary of the “Great March of Return” protests, Israeli soldiers and tanks have been deployed near the fence separating the Israeli occupation from the besieged Gaza Strip.
The reinforcements were deployed on Friday morning, as Gazans planned to stage a massive protest, on Saturday, to commemorate the first anniversary of the demonstrations, in the course of which Israeli soldiers have killed over 260 Palestinians.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatened, on Thursday, that Tel Aviv would wage a broad military campaign on Gaza, if needed, after a two-day flare-up of cross-border fighting that has left several people injured on both sides.
The “Great March of Return” protests demand the right to return, for those driven out of their homeland by Israeli aggression. They started on March 30th of last year. Tensions have since been running high on the edge of Gaza. At least 26,000 Palestinians have also been wounded in the protests, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
A United Nations (UN) fact-finding mission found that Israeli forces committed rights violations, during their crackdown against the Palestinian protesters in Gaza, that may amount to war crimes.
Egypt, the UN, and others have been trying to broker a deal to limit the level of violence, PNN further reports.
“All Israelis should know that if a comprehensive campaign is required, we will enter it strong and safe, and after we have exhausted all of the other possibilities,” Netanyahu said, after visiting the Gaza frontier, where he met some Israeli commanders.
His comments came after two consecutive nights of heavy Israeli bombardments, which wounded several Palestinians but were responded to with a rocket attack from the enclave. The attack wounded seven Israelis in Mishmeret, an agricultural town north of Tel Aviv, on Monday, and forced Netanyahu to cut short his visit to the US.
