the death toll from the protest is about 10 which is what the press and Palestinians are reporting....with around 40+ injured...
The report of 30 killed was from the previous attack which is what sparked the protest.

Israeli forces fired tank shells into a peaceful Palestinian protest during the ongoing assault on Rafah refugee camp yesterday, killing at least 10 people - mostly children - and critically wounding many others.
The army described the incident as "very grave", claimed it had only fired "warning shots" and said there was no intention to harm civilians. But it attempted to shift responsibility for the carnage to the several thousand demonstrators by saying some were armed.
However, no weapons were visible as the crowd walked through the heart of Rafah trailed by children.
Witnesses described seeing children soaked in blood and men with their intestines hanging out.
The dead included 12-year-old Waleed Abo Kamir, Mahmoud Mansour, 13, and Mobark Hasbash, 15. Doctors said that four other bodies brought to the morgue and not immediately identified appeared to be teenagers.
The Israeli army has killed 33 Palestinians in Rafah over the past two days, some of the highest casualties of the present intifada. More than half of the dead are civilians and at least seven of them children.
