Israeli forces shot and killed on Friday a Palestinian man in the West Bank during protests against Washington’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
Palestinians have been holding weekly rallies to denounce the move ever since US President Donald Trump announced it back on December 6.
Mohammed al-Jabari, 24, a father of two, was shot in the chest during the peaceful protests in the southern West Bank city of Hebron and later died in hospital, the Health Ministry said.
The official Palestinian news agency Wafa said he had disabilities, without further details.
The Israeli army said a "riot" had broken out in Hebron and that protesters had attacked soldiers.
"Troops fired live rounds towards a main instigator who held a firebomb with the intent to hurl it," a spokesman said, adding an investigation had been launched.
Meanwhile, at least four people were wounded in the Gaza Strip on Friday, one of them seriously, in clashes along the border with Israel, the health ministry in the Palestinian enclave said.
Trump’s announcement and the planned move in May of the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem - home to sites holy to Muslims, Jews and Christians - reversed decades of US policy on the city. Its status is one of the biggest obstacles to reaching a peace agreement.
The Palestinians want East Jerusalem as the capital of a future state. Israel says the entire city is its indivisible, and eternal capital.
At least 30 Palestinians and two Israelis have been killed since Trump's December 6 announcement.
