Medical sources said two protesters were injured in the leg and rushed to a hospital in Ramallah.

Similar clashes took place in north of Hebron and Bethlehem, as well as other Palestinians villages in northern West Bank.

The Palestinians were outraged after Pompeo announced on Nov. 18 that the U.S. government will no longer consider Israel's West Bank settlements "inconsistent" with international law, a move that has further dimmed the future of the Israeli-Palestinian peace talks.

Pompeo said that the decision, which reversed the previous U.S. administrations' position on the Israeli settlements in occupied Palestinian territories, was made based on the "reality on the ground."

Israeli settlement activity is considered illegal under international law and believed to be one of the major issues that have stalled the peace talks between Palestinians and Israelis since 2017.

According to the latest Palestinian data, around 400,000 Israelis live in 135 settlements and 100 illegal outposts in the West Bank, where the Palestinian population has reached 2.6 million.
