Photographer Felipe Dana, global enterprise/Irbil, for a compelling set of photos, accompanying a story by Todd Pitman, documenting Palestinians wounded by Israeli gunfire during protests on the Gaza Strip. For eight months, Israeli snipers have targeted one part of the body more than any other – the legs. Israel says it is considers firing at the lower limbs an act of restraint as it responds to assaults on its frontier by Palestinians armed with stones, grenades and firebombs.
Documented: In Gaza protests, Israeli troops aim for the legs
Palestinians shot in the legs during demonstrations at the Gaza Strip's border pose as they await treatment at a Gaza City clinic run by MSF (Doctors Without Borders), in this combo of 10 photos taken Sept. 10, 2018. Israeli forces deployed along the border have fired live rounds at rock-throwing Palestinian protesters since demonstrations began in March. Israeli snipers have targeted one part of the body more than any other – the legs.
