israelnationalnews and CrowhHeights.info

The IDF used a new system, the “Sha’aga” (“Roar”) to disperse violent demonstrators that took part in riots at the Gaza Strip border over the weekend. The rioters numbered in the tens of thousands, ending with four people dead, and hundreds injured.

Journalist Amir Buchbut reported that the “Sha’aga,” a non-lethal riot dispersal system based on radio waves that was developed in Israel, was deployed during the riots.

The soldiers who used the system during the violent demonstrations called it “very effective.”

On Saturday, the so-called “Million Man March” took place in Gaza to mark the first anniversary of the so-called “March of the Return.”

Over 40,000 people participated in the demonstrations. Rioters threw hundreds of explosives and stones at IDF soldiers. Four people were killed by IDF fire, and hundreds injured, a number of them seriously.
