Three Palestinians were killed on Friday during clashes in the Occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip, medics reported.<\/p>\n
Israeli fire killed one Palestinian during clashes in Beit Furik near Nablus in the occupied West Bank and wounded five others, Palestinian medics said, as protests erupted in various areas.
\nAFP said Ehab Hanani, 19, was the 37th Palestinian killed since an upsurge in violence began at the start of the month.
\nMeanwhile, two Palestinian died after being shot by the Israeli military in the Gaza Strip, the enclave\u2019s health ministry said, the latest such incidents in more than two weeks of clashes and attacks.
\nMinistry spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra told AFP that Abdul Qadir Farhat, 19, died “after he was shot directly in the head by the military in clashes close to the Beit Hanoun (Erez) crossing” in northern Gaza.
\nMahmud Homaida, 22, was confirmed dead later in the day in clashes along the border.
\nThe health ministry reported 98 others wounded, including those shot or exposed to tear gas.
\nThe Gaza clashes occurred during what Palestinians called a \u201cFriday of revolution\u201d against Israel.
\nViolent protests that first began in annexed east Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank have spread to Gaza in recent days.
\nThe series of attacks and violent protests have raised fears of a full-scale Palestinian uprising. The continued violence also have led the U.N. Security Council to hold an emergency meeting.
\nDuring the meeting, the Palestinian U.N. envoy Riyadh Mansour urged the Security Council to end Israeli aggression and requested protection for his people.
\nMansour also accused Israel of turning the struggle into a \u201creligious conflict.\u201d
\n\u201cWhen will this occupation end, when will Palestinians have their own state,\u201d Mansour told the U.N., urging its members for a two-state solution.
\nMeanwhile, the Israeli U.N. envoy accused the Palestinians to launching \u201cterrorist attacks\u201d and a stabbing wave targeting civilians.
\nBoth the assistant for the Secretary General and Jordan\u2019s envoy said continued violence in Palestinian territories will heighten tension in Mideast. <\/p>\n
