JERUSALEM — Four Israeli soldiers were wounded Saturday, two of them severely, by an explosive device
that the Israeli military said had been attached to a Palestinian flag and placed along the Gaza border during protests there on Friday.
Colonel Conricus said the Israeli soldiers, whose injuries were not life-threatening, were hurt as they inspected a Palestinian flag
that had been placed along the Gaza-Israel fence Friday morning amid a chaotic riot of hundreds of protesters, who were throwing rocks and trying to tear down the fence — and who were also obscured from view by a morning fog.
A second wave of Israeli airstrikes, around 2:30 a.m. Sunday, hit 10 targets in all, eight of them near Deir El Balah, the Israeli military said.
