Israeli troops wound dozens on Gaza border as Palestinians bury dead from earlier violence

Israeli troops shot and wounded about 70 Palestinians among crowds demonstrating at the Gaza-Israel border on Saturday, health officials said, after one of the deadliest days of unrest in the area in years. Thousands of people marched through the streets of Gaza in funerals for the 15 people killed by Israeli gunfire on Friday, and a national day of mourning was observed in the enclave and in the occupied West Bank. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said Israel was responsible for the violence.
