Tensions have been running high in the occupied Palestinian territories since the unveiling of the so-called Deal of the Century by US President Donald Trump last week.
In Jerusalem al-Quds, Israeli forces on Thursday shot dead a Palestinian near al-Aqsa Mosque over an alleged shooting attempt.
Two other Palestinians were killed by Israeli soldiers overnight Wednesday during an Israeli operation in the West Bank city of Jenin. The victims included a Palestinian policeman. Six more were wounded.
The clashes erupted when Israeli forces raided the city to demolish the home of Palestinian prisoner Ahmed Qomba'a, who is in jail over his alleged involvement in the killing of a settler in 2018.
On Thursday, Israeli troops launched a large-scale search operation in the south of the occupied West Bank for a Palestinian whom Israel has accused of carrying out a car ramming attack in Jerusalem al-Quds, wounding 15 Israeli soldiers.
Dozens of Palestinians were wounded during the Israeli operation. Clashes also erupted between Israeli forces and Palestinians in the city of Bethlehem.
Palestinians warn that Tel Aviv is heading towards a heavy-handed crackdown against them in the occupied territories.
They say this is in an attempt to prevent any form of possible popular uprising, related to recent protests against the so-called Deal of the Century.
