The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) says it treated three Palestinians hit by live fire in clashes around the West Bank between Israeli security forces and Palestinian protesters.
Another 26 Palestinians are treated for lighter injuries.
Palestinian protests are taking place across the West Bank in solidarity with some Palestinian hunger strikers in Israeli prisons, who have reached the 36th day of their strike.
At least two Palestinians are injured by live fire in clashes at the Qalandiya Crossing between Israel and the West Bank, according to the Red Crescent, while the Ma’an news agency says a total of three are hit by live fire.
Another person is injured by live fire during clashes at the village of Nabi Saleh, while another three sustain burns and two others suffer from tear gas inhalation in Abu Dis.
Additionally, at the village of Azzun near Qalqilya, the Red Crescent says 18 suffer from tear gas inhalation. At the village of Khaduri near Tulkarem, two suffer from gas inhalation, and at the village of Zif, one person is treated for an injury caused by a rubber bullet.
All those injured by live fire are in stable condition.
