One Gazan was injured as Palestinians rioted and burned tires along Israel's border with the Gaza Strip on Saturday afternoon, according to local reports.

Israeli fire injured the rioting Gazan, Palestinian media reported, who was among some 150 involved in violent riots near the Rafah and Karni crossings.

The riots came amid a rise of disturbances across the Gaza Strip which culminated in an IDF strike on Hamas targets in the Strip on Friday evening.

The strikes were carried out using an unmanned aerial vehicle, the military said. 

A military tank also struck another Hamas post where shots were previously fired at Israeli forces along the border.

Earlier on Saturday, a demonstration was held on the shores of the Gaza Strip as protesters staged a flotilla calling for an end to Israel's blockade of the strip for Yom Kippur and the High Holy days.
