Palestinian demonstrators react to tear gas fired by Israeli troops during clashes at a protest as Palestinians call for a Day of Rage in response to U.S. President Donald Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital, near the border with Israel in the east of Gaza City, December 22, 2017 - Sputnik International

A Palestinian was killed on Friday by Israeli soldiers in the Gaza Strip during protests incited by the US recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, the health ministry said.

"Zakaria al-Kafarneh, 24, died after being shot in the chest east of Jabalia (in northern Gaza)," a health ministry spokesman said in a statement.

Five Palestinians were injured by Israeli security forces, who fired rubber bullets on Friday during protests in East Jerusalem and in the West Bank, medical services said.

Israeli forces also used tear gas to disperse protesters.

On December 6, Donald Trump announced that Washington would recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and would transfer the American embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
