A number of Palestinians were injured on Friday in a number of attacks by Israeli forces.
In the village of Beit Dajan east of Nablus, at least three people were injured on Friday when Israeli forces attacked a weekly protest against settlement activity in the area.
Fighting also broke out between Palestinians and Israeli forces at a similar protest in the nearby village of Beita.
In the town of Taqoa near Bethlehem a 22-year-old man was hospitalised after being attacked by Israeli forces.
On Thursday, Israel elected the most far-right government ever in its history, with politicians known for incendiary hate-speech against Palestinians expected to take positions in a cabinet led by Benjamin Netanyahu.

Musab Nofal, 18, was hit with a bullet in the chest and died at hospital in the city of Ramallah.
The latest escalation came as a political shift is underway in Israel after national elections, with former longtime Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu set to return to power in a coalition government made up of far-right allies, including the extremist lawmaker Itamar Ben-Gvir, who in response to the incidents said Israel would soon take a tougher approach to attackers.

The Palestinian Health Ministry said Saturday that Israeli forces shot and killed a young man in the occupied West Bank.
The ministry said Musab Nofal, 18, was hit with a bullet in the chest and died at hospital in the city of Ramallah. Another Palestinian was also seriously wounded.
The Israeli military said Nofal and the second Palestinian were hurling stones at Israeli vehicles traveling on a West Bank road near Silwad, northeast of Ramallah, damaging several cars. Soldiers aimed live fire toward the rock throwers, it added.
This is the latest in a wave of Israeli escalation in the West Bank and east Jerusalem that has killed more than 130 Palestinians this year, making 2022 the deadliest since the U.N. started tracking fatalities in 2005.
