A Palestinian boy flashes a victory sign as he holds a stone during a protest near the Nahal Oz crossing between Israel and the northern Gaza Strip September 16, 2009. Palestinians and Israelis held separate protests on both sides of the border on Wednesday. The Palestinians protested Israel's blockade of the coastal territory and called for the release of Palestinian prisoners held in the Israeli jails. The Israelis demanded the release of abducted Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, captured by Palestinian gunmen from Gaza during a cross-border raid in June 2006.
