Injured protesters at the Gaza border have been distributed payouts by Hamas, the terrorist organisation which governs the Gaza territory.

Hamas spokesman, Hazim Qassim, revealed on Thursday that Palestinian protesters critically and moderately injured received $500, while families of those killed in protests were given $3,000.

The Israeli defence force have described the situation as ‘violent riots’ stating protesters have thrown molotov cocktails and rocks at soldiers, opened fire on them and also set tires on fire.
