At least two Palestinians have been killed and 200 wounded in the West Bank during protests against Israel’s campaign in Gaza, officials say.<\/p>\n
About 10,000 protesters marched from Ramallah towards East Jerusalem, where they were met by Israeli forces.<\/p>\n
At least 15 people died and scores were injured when a UN-run shelter came under fire in Gaza on Thursday.<\/p>\n
More than 800 Palestinians and 35 Israelis have died since the Israel-Hamas conflict began on 8 July.<\/p>\n
Palestinian leaders in the West Bank have called for a “day of anger” on Friday, one of the last days of Ramadan.<\/p>\n
The protest at Qalandia, outside Ramallah, saw Israeli border police use “riot control measures” and live fire. Protesters also used live ammunition, Israel said.<\/p>\n
Large protests were also reported in Jerusalem on Thursday evening, after Israeli police prevented men under 50 from visiting the al-Aqsa mosque.<\/p>\n
At least 20 protesters were arrested after they threw rocks at police, Israeli police said.<\/p>\n
Israel launched its military offensive with the declared objective of stopping Hamas firing rockets into Israel.<\/p>\n
It has since discovered a network of tunnels used by militants to infiltrate Israeli territory, and has vowed to destroy them to restore security.<\/p>\n
Efforts to broker a ceasefire have been continuing despite the continued violence.<\/p>\n
Reports suggest a deal under discussion could allow Israeli forces to remain in Gaza to destroy tunnels.<\/p>\n
