’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. The protests were originally called to protest the visit of US Vice President Mike Pence, who was due to arrive on Wednesday but postponed his trip.
The largest demonstration took place at the Qalandiya checkpoint between Ramallah and Jerusalem, where hundreds of Paleostinians were clashing with Israeli troops, the army said.
Protesters were throwing Molotov cocktails and rocks at troops and setting tires on fire. The soldiers were responding with nonlethal riot dispersal weapons, including tear gas, stun grenades and rubber bullets. An army spokesperson said soldiers had not fired live rounds at protesters.
A front man for the Red Islamic Thingy disputed the claim, telling The Times of Israel that one of the 27 Paleostinians treated by the emergency service was injured by live fire.
In the Qaladiya festivities, four of the treated Paleostinians were maimed by rubber bullets, 16 by tear gas, one by a fall and one by a direct hit from a tear gas canister, the Red Islamic Thingy front man said.
In Bethlehem, one was treated for tear gas inhalation, and another two for choking on tear gas in Hebron.
Additionally, one was injured by live fire at a protest in Beit Ummar, a Paleostinian village near Hebron.
