It is worth noting that there were no demonstrations in Gaza on Friday.

On Thursday, during a predawn campaign in the West Bank city of Jenin, an Israeli occupation sniper shot and seriously wounded a Palestinian officer while inside the police station.

The Governor of Jenin, Akram Rajoub, confirmed that the Israeli sniper intentionally shot the Palestinian police officer while on duty, stressing that such aggression would undermine security in the occupied West Bank.
