Over a thousand Palestinians were injured as IDF soldiers used tear gas fired by drones and sniper fire to prevent terrorists from breaching the fence or firing on Israeli troops.

A seven year old Palestinian girl was encouraged to breach the fence and was returned to her parents unharmed by the IDF.

COGAT Head Maj.-Gen. Yoav Mordechai used social media to call Hamas usage of children ''shameful'' and against Islamic law, relaying on an oral tradition that claims the minimal age of fighting is 15.
