By Nidal al-Mughrabi and Stephen Farrell GAZA BORDER (Reuters) - The Israeli military dropped leaflets and fired tear gas into Gaza early on Monday, warning Palestinians to stay away from the border with Israel as protesters gathered for the penultimate day of a six-week demonstration. Protests are expected to escalate on Monday, the 70th anniversary of the foundation of Israel and the day the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem will be officially opened. In Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, Israeli forces fired gunshots and one protester was wounded in the leg, witnesses and Palestinian medics said.
