At least five Palestinians were injured on Sunday, including one critically, during clashes which broke out along the Gaza Strip’s borders, as Palestinians continue to protest US recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, said WAFA sources.

A Palestinian was hit with live ammunition during confrontations that erupted to the east of Jabalia, north of the Strip. He was transferred to hospital for medical treatment, where his condition was described as critical.

Four others were injured after being shot with live fire during similar clashes which broke out to the east of the Shuja’eyya neighborhood, east of Gaza city.

They were taken to hospitals where their medical conditions were described as moderate.

Several other Palestinians were treated for tear-gas inhalation, said media sources.
