At least 16 Palestinians in Gaza have been shot dead by Israeli troops in some of the bloodiest clashes for weeks, Palestinian officials say.
It comes ahead of the controversial opening of the US embassy in Jerusalem, which has infuriated Palestinians.
Gaza’s Islamist rulers, Hamas, have led mass protests in a “Great March of Return” for the past six weeks. Israel says demonstrators are trying to breach the border fence.
The Hamas-run health ministry said a 14-year-old boy had been among those killed on Monday, and 500 people had been injured.
