*Jerusalem: Three Palestinians ๐Ÿ˜ฑ killed in fresh clashes with Israel ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ธ*





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.
