(MENAFN- Jordan News Agency) Ramallah, Dec 11 (Petra) –– Six Palestinians were injured on Monday when Israeli occupation forces fired tear gas and rubber bullets against Palestinians near Ramallah on the fifth day of protests across the Palestinian territories against US President Donald Trump's decision to recognise Jerusalem as Israeli's capital.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said that a journalist was among the injured, who was hit by a rubber bullet in the shoulder during the clashes, which broke out this morning on the northern entrance to El Bireh, near Ramallah, in the occupied West Bank. Two other Palestinians were injured by live fire from Israeli troops during clashes with protesters in the north of the Gaza Strip, according to the Palestinian Health Minister.
Ministry spokesman, Ashraft Al Kedra, said the protesters were struck by bullets fired by the Israeli army against protesters east of Beit Hanoun.
