Mass protests leave one dead and 50 injured
Occupying forces fire on Palestinians following Jerusalem announcement

ONE Palestinian was killed and up to 50 were injured yesterday as occupation forces fired on protesters venting their anger at US President Donald Trump legitimising Israel’s annexation of Jerusalem.

The Palestinian Health Ministry said Mohammed al-Masri had been shot dead by Israeli troops in southern Gaza.

His was the first death in demonstrations against US President Donald Trump’s statement on Wednesday that his administration recognises Israel’s claim that Jerusalem is its capital.
