Alwaght- Israeli regime forces have killed two Palestinians during clashes over US recognition of al-Quds (Jerusalem) as the regime’s capital, the Palestinian Health Ministry has said.
Israeli regime troops shot the two men dead on Friday near the Gaza border, a health ministry official said in a statement, while over 700 were wounded in clashes across the West Bank, East al-Quds and the Gaza Strip.
Friday demonstrations dubbed “Day of Rage" were called by Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, in protest against Donald Trump's decision to recognize occupied city of al-Quds as the capital city of the Israeli regime.
Friday marked the third day of protests across the occupied territories.
Palestinian universities, schools, and educational institutions had also declared a strike after a directive from the Palestinian Ministry of Education.
The Trump administration's move to recognize al-Quds as Israeli has angered Palestinians and sparked protests that stretched across the Muslim world on Friday, from Iran to Indonesia and from Somalia to Afghanistan.
The Israeli regime occupied East al-Quds in the 1967 Six Day war, a move that was regarded as illegal by the international community. Palestinians have declared al-Quds as the capital of their future independent state.
