LEADIN:
Palestinians in Gaza took part in a protest on Tuesday to voice their rejection of Israeli raids in the West Bank and to show solidarity with Palestinian prisoners.
STORYLINE:
Dozens of Palestinians gathered near Gaza's maritime frontier with Israel on Tuesday to protest Israeli raids in the West Bank.
Israel has been carrying out nightly arrest raids across the West Bank since a spate of attacks against Israelis in the spring killed 19 people.
Most of that activity has been focused in the northern West Bank.
Israeli fire has killed more than 100 Palestinians during that time, making it the deadliest year in the occupied territory since 2015.
The protest on Tuesday was organized by various factions in the coastal territory, including Gaza's Hamas rulers.
The factions said the demonstration was also organized to protest tension in Jerusalem's holy sites and to show solidarity with Palestinian prisoners.
"We are now raising our voice so that the whole world can hear us," said Khader Habib, Islamic Jihad official.
Israel says the arrest raids are meant to dismantle militant networks.
The Palestinians say the operations have undermined their own security forces and are aimed at strengthening Israel's 55-year military occupation of territories they want for an independent state.
The Gaza protest, which featured several demonstrators holding up Palestinian flags, ended peacefully.
The Gaza-Israel border has been largely quiet since a cease-fire between Israel and Palestinian militants took effect in August, ending three days of violence.
The brief conflict was between Israel and the Islamic Jihad, the smaller of the two main Palestinian militant groups in the Gaza Strip.
Hamas, the militant group that has ruled Gaza for the last 15 years, did not take part in the fighting.
