UPDATE 3 - Dozens injured in fresh Palestinian protests

UPDATES WITH NUMBER OF INJURED PALESTINIANS

RAMALLAH, Palestine (AA) - Dozens of Palestinians were injured in fresh protests in the occupied West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza strip on Saturday amid tension over U.S. President Donald Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

In a statement, the Palestinian Red Crescent said at least 92 Palestinians had been injured so far during the protests.

In East Jerusalem, 12 people were wounded by Israeli police.

At least 48 demonstrators were also injured by rubber bullets and suffered gas inhalation when Israeli forces dispersed protesters in the West Bank cities of Ramallah, Bethlehem, and Tulkarem according to same statement.

In Gaza, 32 Palestinians were injured during the clashes between the Palestinian youth and the Israeli army at the border crossing.

Palestinian groups have called fresh mass demonstrations across the West Bank and East Jerusalem on Saturday against the U.S. recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

Four Palestinians have been martyred and hundreds injured in clashes and Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip and West Bank since Friday.

According to a statement from the Israeli Army, 20 points across West Bank and Gaza staged clashes.

Nearly 600 Palestinians threw stone on Israeli soldiers and set fire tires in West Bank, said the statement, adding that some 450 Palestinian protesters took the streets in Gaza.

According to the Israeli police, at least six Palestinians were arrested while two police officers were slightly injured during the clashes in the occupied East Jerusalem.

Meanwhile, Palestinian committees in West Bank’s refugee camps on Saturday refused to meet any U.S. members of the UNRWA relief agency in a protest against Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

“We have informed UN officials holding the U.S citizenship in West Bank and Jerusalem that they are no more welcome in the Palestinian refugee camps,” Mahmoud Mubarak, Head of West Bank’s Executive Office, told Anadolu Agency.

“This is the least we can do for the city of Jerusalem,” he said.

Jerusalem remains at the heart of the Israel-Palestine conflict, with Palestinians hoping that East Jerusalem -- occupied by Israel in 1967 -- might eventually serve as the capital of a future Palestinian state.
