One Palestinian was killed and 379 were injured on Friday in the “Day of Rage” protests over the US announcement of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
Spokesman for Gaza’s Ministry of Health Ashraf al-Qedra announced that a 29-year-old Palestinian was killed and 134 others were injured in confrontations with the Israeli occupation forces in several areas east of the Gaza Strip.
The Palestinian Red Crescent crews also said on Friday that they have attended to at least 245 injuries in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem.
These confrontations followed calls by Hamas Movement and other Palestinian factions on the Palestinian people to take to the streets in protest at US President Donald Trump’s recognition of Occupied Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
Under the instructions of the chief of general staff of the Israeli army Gadi Eizenkot a state of alert was announced and reinforcements were summoned as clashes escalated across the West Bank and east of the Gaza Strip.
