(TKG) − Media reported as saying, the presence of the Israeli troops increased in the West Bank and near Hamas-run Gaza Strip on Wednesday evening, January 29, as US President Donald Trump’s controversial peace plan sparked fury among Palestinians.
The plan, seen as drafted with no Palestinian input and overwhelmingly in favor of Israel, gives the Jewish state a U.S. green light to annex key parts of the occupied West Bank.
It was widely cheered and welcomed in Israel, but sparked outrages among Palestinians, with protests breaking out in the West Bank and the Hamas-run Gaza Strip.
One rocket was fired from the strip Wednesday evening that the Israeli army responded by Israeli fighter jets and aircraft striking a number of Hamas terror targets in the southern Gaza Strip.
Palestinian demonstrators and Israeli security forces clashed in various locations in the West Bank and further Palestinian protests are expected to take place in the coming days.
The clashes came after U.S. President Donald Trump unveiled his middle east peace proposal on Tuesday, January 28, that, reportedly, was overwhelmingly in favor of Israeli state.
