At least four people were killed and dozens injured in Gaza and the West Bank on December 15 as Palestinian protests continued, the Palestinian Health Ministry reported. Two of the deaths were reported at the Gaza border near Nahal Oz in Israel.

Protests have continued for more than a week in response to the US administration’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the Israeli capital.
