Israeli forces have killed 14 Palestinians, including at least one child, in the occupied West Bank in less than nine hours on Friday.
Palestinians held rallies in solidarity with Gaza in different cities and confronted Israeli troops, who responded with live fire.
There were also several reports of exchanges of fire between troops and Palestinian fighters in Jenin and Nablus.
The spike in military violence came as armed settlers launched assaults on Palestinian villages, shooting unarmed residents and wounding at least one person.
Israeli settlers and soldiers have killed at least 49 Palestinians since Saturday.
