Around 15,000 Palestinians protested along the Gaza fence, calling for an end to the Israeli siege on the Gaza Strip, and demanding the Right of Return for Palestinian refugees. During the demonstration, seven protesters were shot and killed by Israeli snipers. Following the protest and as a means of collective punishment, Israeli Defence Minister Avigdor Liberman ordered to halt fuel delivery into the Gaza Strip. Since the beginning of the protests on March 30, 2018, 200 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli soldiers.
