For the 8th consecutive Friday, Palestinians across the oPt gather to protest U.S. pres. Trump’s 12/6 recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. IDF troops violently disperse them along Gaza’s border near Khan Yunis, Jabaliya refugee camp, and Gaza City; 6 Palestinians are injured. Meanwhile, IDF troops patrol in and around Jenin and Hebron. In East Jerusalem, Israeli settlers torch a car and spray racist graffiti on nearby walls in Bayt Safafa overnight. (MNA, TOI, WAFA 1/26; PCHR 2/1)
