Reese Witherspoon's father hospitalised after poolside incident in Nashville: Report
The news agency AFP reported on Friday that at least six journalists have been shot and wounded.
The European Union also issues a statement addressing the killings said that the killings raised serious questions about the use of force. It added reports by Israel of stones and fire-bombs being thrown along with attempts to cross the fence into Israel "must also be clarified."
Palestinians also threw stones at Israeli soldiers to which the Israeli forces responded with tear gas and live fire.
Tyers were also set on fire as an attempt to create a smokescreen to block the view of Israeli snipers.
Thousands of protesters -- Israel estimated 20,000 -- gathered in locations near the border east of Khan Yunis, in the south of the blockaded Palestinian enclave, and east of Gaza City, among other spots.
The number of protesters, however, was lower than last week, when a demonstration by tens of thousands led to clashes in which Israeli forces killed 19 Palestinians on March 30.
