Transcribed from the clipping

“GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — A powerful explosion killed at least four Palestinians and wounded several others during a protest along the Gaza Strip’s border with Israel on Wednesday, Palestinian health officials said. The cause of the blast was not immediately known. The Israeli military said demonstrators had tried to hurl an explosive device across the border fence and that it detonated prematurely.”
