Palestinian dies in clash with Israeli soldiers
Jerusalem: A Palestinian man died on Saturday of injuries he suffered in clashes with Israeli soldiers near the border of the Gaza Strip.
The clashes took place on Friday in the Al-Bureij refugee camp during demonstrations against US President Donald Trump's decision to recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
Jamal Mohamed Musleh, 20, from the central town of al-Maghazi, died after being admitted to a hospital, the Palestinian Health Ministry said.
At least 50 protestors were shot with live rounds when the Palestinians approached the border with Israel and clashed with the soldiers. Five of them were in critical condition, the Ministry was quoted as saying by Efe news.
On December 6, Trump announced his decision on Jerusalem and said that the US will move its embassy to the holy city from Tel Aviv.
Sixteen Palestinians have died since then. According to the Health Ministry, 13 people died from gunshots, two Islamic Jihad militants died in Gaza while preparing to launch a missile at Israel and a woman died due to heart attack which she suffered when the Israeli Army raided her home in the West Bank.
Thousands of Palestinians took to the streets in Gaza and the West Bank for the fourth consecutive Friday, in protests that often end in clashes with the Israeli security forces.
