Israeli forces 'fire on Palestinians' near Gaza border

Israeli forces have opened fire on a crowd of Palestinians in Gaza approaching a border crossing with Israel, wounding 15, reports say.
Israeli forces also opened fire on a group at the border with Syria on the Golan Heights, wounding a number.
Israeli security forces and Palestinians have also clashed in the West Bank town of Ramallah.
Palestinians are marking the Nakba, or catastrophe, when many lost their homes with the founding of Israel in 1948.
Palestinian medical officials in Gaza said at least 15 people were wounded by tank and machine gun fire.
Palestinian health official Adham Abu Salmiya said all those wounded in Gaza were under 18 years old, Associated Press news agency reported.
One was in a critical condition, he said.
