Three Palestinians have died in Gaza during clashes with
Israeli troops near the border, Palestinian officials say.
More than 100 were hurt in Gaza and the occupied West Bank
amid fresh protests over Donald Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's
capital.
Clashes erupted following Muslim Friday prayers, as
Palestinian demonstrators lit tyres and threw stones at Israeli troops, who
fired tear gas and live rounds across the West Bank and over the border with
the Gaza Strip, reports say.
Friday's deaths bring to seven the number of Palestinians
killed in an escalation of violence with Israel since Mr Trump's declaration on
6 December.
As well as clashes on the ground over the past week, several
mortars have been fired from Gaza into Israel, which has responded with air
strikes on militant facilities there.
