Two Palestinian photojournalists injured in Gaza

Two Palestinian photojournalists have been injured in Gaza, according to Middle East Eye's correspondent at the protests on the boundary with Israel. 

Mustafa Hassouneh and Attiyah Darwish were hit by gas canisters fired by Israeli soldiers, Palestinian news outlet Quds News reported. 

MEE correspondent Mohammed Asad reported that there was chanting in support of Palestinians in the occupied West Bank during Friday's protest, in response to which he said Israeli forces used tear gas more heavily than in recent weeks. 

At least 46 Palestinians have been injured, according to Gaza's health ministry.

Translation: Attiyah Darwish, a photojournalist, arrived at the hospital after he was injured by a tear gas canister that hit him in the face while covering clashes east of Gaza City.
