Palestinians, some of them waving Palestinian flags, participate in a demonstration next to the Israeli border in Abasan village eastern of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, Thursday, March 18, 2010. Palestinians protested against an Israeli decision to fortify the border area with concrete barriers near Khan Younis.Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip launched a rocket at Israel 18 March, killing a Thai worker - the first fatality from a rocket fired from the salient since the end of Israel's offensive in the Gaza Strip 14 months ago, officials said. Israel has in the past retaliated harshly for any rocket-induced death, and the Gaza Strip has been relatively quiet for the past year. The rocket was launched as European Union Foreign Affairs Supremo Catherine Ashton was entering the Gaza Strip on a rare visit to the salient by a top European diplomat.Photo By Abed Rahim Khatib
