Fresh clashes break out between Tel Aviv forces and Palestinian protesters, who are angry at a US decision to recognize al-Quds as the “capital” of the illegal Zionist entity known as Israel.
According to Press TV, Following noon prayers on Friday, Palestinians once again took to the streets in al-Quds, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip to denounce US President Donald Trump’s declaration on al-Quds.
Israeli forces fired tear gas and rubber bullets to break up the gatherings in several areas in the West Bank, prompting skirmishes with the protesters, who responded by throwing rocks.
The Israeli military has deployed reinforcements across al-Quds and its Old City, which hosts the al-Aqsa Mosque compound.
Earlier in the day, Tel Aviv’s forces raided the town of Halhul in the southern occupied West Bank, prompting heavy clashes with the Palestinian residents, Palestinian media reported.
Several Palestinians were injured as Israeli forces fired tear gas and sound bombs to disperse the protesters in Halhul, located north of al-Khalil.
