| The incident appeared to be the first attack since President Donald Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital. The announcement set off protests and demonstration across the West Bank, east Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip, and demonstrations around the world. | |
| Israel launched fresh air strikes on the Gaza Strip on Saturday in response to rocket fire. | |
| The Islamist group Hamas said the strikes had killed two of its gunmen. | |
| Meanwhile two more Palestinians were killed in further clashes on the Gaza border on Friday in a "day of rage" and scores more were wounded in the occupied West Bank during protests. | |
| In more than two years of intermittent attacks, Palestinians have killed more than 50 Israelis, two visiting Americans and a British tourist in stabbings, shootings and car-ramming attacks. Israeli forces have killed more than 260 Palestinians in that time, mostly attackers. | In more than two years of intermittent attacks, Palestinians have killed more than 50 Israelis, two visiting Americans and a British tourist in stabbings, shootings and car-ramming attacks.

| Most countries have not recognized Israel's 1967 annexation of east Jerusalem and maintain their embassies in Tel Aviv. Under a longstanding international consensus, the fate of the city is to be determined in final status peace negotiations. Israel says it hopes others will follow Trump's lead, but the United States found itself alone in the U.N. Security Council on Friday, fielding criticism from the other 14 members over the proposed move. | |
| Palestinian official Hanan Ashrawi said the council took a strong stance against "American violations of international law." | |
| "They have no mandate to give away Jerusalem to an occupying power or to violate international law in such a blatant and egregious manner," she said. | |
