Thousands of Palestinians stage anti-Trump protests
GAZA: Thousands of Palestinians took to the streets of Gaza and the occupied West Bank for the fourth Friday in a row in protests against US President Donald Trump´s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel´s capital.
Palestinian health officials said at least 50 protesters had been wounded by live fire, mostly along the Gaza border. An Israeli military spokeswoman said soldiers had shot at the "main instigators" who she said posed a direct threat to the troops and who were trying to damage the border security fence. The spokeswoman said about 4,000 Palestinians across the West Bank and Gaza, some throwing rocks and fire bombs and setting tyres alight, confronted Israeli soldiers who responded mainly by firing tear gas. In Gaza, demonstrators chanted "Death to America, death to Israel, and death to Trump" and militants fired rockets into Israel, drawing strikes by Israeli tanks and aircraft. The military said it targeted posts that belonged to Hamas, the group that controls the Palestinian enclave, after intercepting two of the three rockets fired into Israel. Police said the third struck a building, causing damage. No casualties were reported in those incidents. Trump outraged Palestinians and sparked anger in the Middle East and among world powers with his Jerusalem declaration on Dec.6, which reversed decades of US policy on one of the most sensitive issues in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.Israel considers Jerusalem its eternal and indivisible capital. Palestinians want the capital of an independent Palestinian state to be in the city´s eastern sector, which Israel captured in the 1967 Middle East War and annexed in a move never recognised internationally. أكثر... ??????? ??????: Thousands of Palestinians stage anti-Trump protests || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
