Palestinians continued protesting along Gaza's eastern border near Khan Younis on Friday, as part of the 'Great March of Return' movement.

Drone footage shows the scale of the protests, with injured protesters being carried off into ambulances, and smoke from flaming tyres rising into the sky.

Israeli regime forces deployed tear gas against protesters.

At least ten Palestinian protesters were killed by Israeli forces and over 1,000 were wounded in the violence, according to Gaza health officials.

The six-week long rallies demand what Palestinian protesters say is their right to return to land which has now been occupied by Israel.
