Hundreds of Palestinians march towards Israeli checkpoints across the West Bank in solidarity with East Jerusalem Palestinians, leading to confrontations between the two sides.
According to reports in the Palestinian media, Palestinians hurled stones and burned garbage cans close to Jenin’s Jalameh Checkpoint during the protest.
Palestinians also demonstrate close to Nablus’s Huwarra checkpoint and Hebron’s Bab al-Zawiyeh, which borders a crossing within the city administered by the Israeli military.
In the Gaza Strip, hundreds of Palestinians join in what Hamas media claims are “spontaneous marches” in support of their East Jerusalem co-nationalists.
A number of Gaza Palestinians march toward the fence separating Israel from the coastal enclave. The Israeli Defense Forces fired flares over the area. According to Palestinian reports, the Israeli military fires warning shots toward the marchers — without apparent casualties; an IDF spokesperson confirms the marches but not the shots fired.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
