As the US government moves the embassy to Jerusalem, thousands of Palestinians protest in Gaza and the West Bank the same day that marks the 70th anniversary of the Nakba. In Gaza, Israeli troops shot to death more than 58 people and injured 2,000 on that day. At Qalandiya military checkpoint hundreds marched and threw stones at Israeli soldiers, who responded with firing live bullets, rubber bullet and also tear gas.
