No casualties were reported on either side.
On Tuesday, several Gaza residents were injured during a violent riot along the border with Israel.
Hundreds of Gazans descended on the security fence, launching explosive devices toward Israeli territory, according to the IDF. Some of the rioters also attempted to cross the border into Israel.
The military responded with sharpshooters and non-lethal dispersal means. The IDF reported that several hits were identified, but provided no further detail. A number of Gazans were arrested.
Violent rioting at the border was also reported on Friday.
The border incidents come after the Hamas terrorist group which rules the Gaza Strip restarted the “Great March of Return” protests.
Initially organized in March 2018, the violent border protests, staged nearly every week, lasted until Dec. 27, 2019.
