At least 17 Palestinians have been injured during clashes between Palestinian protesters and Israeli forces at the entrance to the town of Naqurah, ten kilometers northwest of Nablus in the occupied West Bank. 

The clashes erupted when Israeli forces fired rubber bullets and deployed teargas grenades in response to apparent stone-throwing by Palestinian protesters.

This marked the eighth day of unrest as protesters continue to rally against US President Donald Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem al-Quds as Israel's capital.
