West Bank: More than 80 Palestinians have been injured in fresh protests across the West Bank, two weeks after US President Donald Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, according to the Red Crescent, reports Al Jazeera.

At least three people were injured with live bullets, more than 20 with rubber-coated steel bullets and 40 by tear-gas inhalation in Wednesday’s protests called for by the Palestinian Authority, several political parties and trade unions. The confrontations with the Israeli army unfolded after Day of Rage rallies were staged in various areas of the occupied West Bank including Hebron, Nablus, Bethlehem and Jericho.

The largest demonstration commenced at the Qalandia military checkpoint, the main point splitting the occupied West Bank from Jerusalem and a constant flashpoint in the conflict.

Jihad Barakat, a local journalist who was reporting from Qalandia, estimates that about 5,000 Palestinians attended the rally there, which took off at about 12pm local time (10:00 GMT).
