GAZA STRIP, Gaza: A demonstrator raises a Palestinian flag in the air while clashes erupted between Palestinian youths and Israeli defense soldiers near Erez crossing northern of Gaza City, December 11, 2015. Since mid-September 2015, Palestinians have killed 19 Israelis. At least 112 Palestinians have died by Israeli fire; 75 of them said by Israel to be attackers while the others died in clashes with security forces. Israel blames incitement by political and religious leaders for the violence. Palestinians say the attacks stem from despair at achieving statehood.
