Clashes escalate across Palestine in response to Trump's Jerusalem move

At least two Palestinians have been killed and thousands injured as Day of Rage protests continue across the occupied West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip over the US decision to recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

A 30-year-old Palestinian man was killed by Israeli fire during protests in Gaza on Friday, Palestinian news agency WAFA reported, citing the Palestinian health ministry.

A 54-year-old man in Gaza later died from his wounds, WAFA also said.

The Red Crescent also said on Friday that so far, they had attended to at least 767 injuries in the occupied West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza Strip.

In and around the Old City of Jerusalem, protests began after noon prayers on Friday.
