Israeli soldiers have fired tear gas, water canon and rubber bullets at stone-throwing Palestinians in the West Bank, wounding at least 17 people, medics and security sources said.
The clashes on Friday took place near Ramallah and in Nablus to the north, as Palestinians marked 67 years since the "Nakba", or "catastrophe", that befell them when Israel was established in 1948.
At a demonstration outside Ofer military prison near Ramallah, dozens of protesters threw stones at soldiers who fired tear gas and rubber bullets at the crowds, the AFP news agency reported.
Medics said seven Palestinians were wounded in those clashes.
In a separate flare-up earlier in the West Bank city of Nablus, rubber bullets and live fire by soldiers wounded at least 10 Palestinians, security sources and witnesses said.
