Gaza: Funeral Held for Man Killed by Israeli Forces While Protesting Trump
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the Gaza Strip, Palestinians held a funeral march Saturday for a
20-year-old man killed by Israeli forces during Friday protests against
President Trump's declaration of Jerusalem as Israel's capital. At least
13 Palestinians have been killed in protests since Trump's declaration.
Elsewhere, Israeli forces fired tear gas at Palestinians in West Bank
cities, including Bethlehem, Jericho and Ramallah, injuring at least 20
protesters. The protests came as Hamas fired three rockets into southern
Israel, prompting Israeli tanks and a warplane to fire on southern Gaza.
There were no reports of injuries in the exchanges.
