Clashes erupt between Palestinian protesters and Israeli forces, dozens injured
Palestinians held protests on Friday in the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem, over U.S. recent recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
In West Bank, scores of people paraded towards the Israeli settlements where they clashed with Israeli soldiers, Xinhua reported.
The soldiers opened fire and threw tear gas bombs at the protesters, causing at least 40 injuries, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent.
Angry Palestinians also held demonstration inside the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound after the Friday noon prayers.
In Gaza, mosques called on the Palestinians to take to the street to protest for Jerusalem, while dozens of youths headed to the border areas between Israel and the Gaza Strip.
U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that he acknowledged Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and decided to move the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
Trump's declaration received wide criticism and opposition from Arab and Muslim countries.
