Latest: Man killed by Israeli fire in Gaza protests against America's Jerusalem move
A man has been killed and dozens more were wounded in skirmishes between Israeli forces and protesters along Gaza's border with Israel, the Palestinian health ministry said.
Mohammed Al-Masri, 30, died after being struck by live fire east of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, the ministry said.
More than 35 Palestinians were injured, two seriously, it added.
It was the first death since clashes erupted across the Palestinian territories after US President Donald Trump recognised Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
The Israeli military said in a statement that during clashes along the border fence, soldiers "fired selectively at two main instigators" and confirmed hitting them.
The militant al Qaida network has urged followers around the world to target vital interests of the United States, its allies and Israel.
It is in response to US President Donald Trump's recognition of contested Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
Mr Trump's seismic policy shift on Jerusalem has angered Arabs and Muslims, who view it as an expression of blatant pro-Israel bias on one of the region's most explosive religious and political disputes.
Jerusalem is home to major Muslim and Christian shrines, as well as Judaism's holiest site.
The city's Israeli-annexed eastern sector is sought by the Palestinians as a future capital, while Israel says it will not relinquish any part of the city.
A statement posted on al Qaida's media arm as-Sahab called for holy war or jihad and described America as an oppressor of Muslims.
Street protests were held across the region. Marches were staged in Iran, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan and Jordan.
For decades, the United States had professed neutrality on the fate of Jerusalem, in line with an international consensus that the fate of the holy city should be determined in negotiations.
Today, all eyes were on east Jerusalem's Old City, home to the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, which is Islam's third holiest shrine and stands on the remnants of Judaism's holiest site.
One of the compound's outer walls is the holiest site where Jews can pray.
In the past, Israeli authorities often imposed age restrictions, barring younger Muslims from entering the Al Aqsa compound during periods of tensions.
The preacher at Al Aqsa told worshippers that the city will "remain Muslim and Arab".
"All we want from the Arab and Muslim leaders is action and not statements of denunciation," Sheikh Yousef Abu Sneineh said to the approximately 27,000 worshippers.
Around 2,000 people later gathered in the plaza around the mosque, chanting: "With our soul and blood, we will defend Al Aqsa and Jerusalem."
In neighbouring Jordan, hundreds of protesters in the capital Amman chanted "Jerusalem is Arab" and "America is the head of the snake".
Clashes erupted today after Palestinians poured out of mosques after midday prayers, the highlight of the Muslim religious week.
Erab Fukaha, a spokeswoman for the Red Crescent paramedics, said 12 Palestinians were hurt by rubber-coated steel pellets and one by live fire.
Palestinian political groups had called for massive demonstrations in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem on Friday.
Separately, the Gaza-based leader of the Islamic militant Hamas has agitated for a third uprising against Israel.
Hundreds of Palestinian protesters have clashed with Israeli security forces in the West Bank cities of Hebron, Bethlehem and Ramallah.
The show of rage after Friday midday prayers was in response to the Trump administration's decision to recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
Protesters threw stones at Israeli troops, who responded with tear gas and rubber bullets.
In Gaza, thousands took to the streets and marched to denounce US President Donald Trump's proclamation.
Thousands of Palestinian worshippers also rallied outside Jerusalem's Al Aqsa Mosque, a flashpoint site in the holy city.
Palestinians are expected to protest en masse across the West Bank, east Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip following the Trump administration's recognition this week of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
The United Nations Security Council will hold an emergency meeting later to discuss Donald Trump's decision.
Israeli police have deployed reinforcements in and around Jerusalem's Old City ahead of Friday prayers, though Israel has not imposed age restrictions on Muslim worshippers to access Jerusalem's Al Aqsa Mosque, the city's most sacred Islamic site, a measure common during flare-ups of tensions.
Demonstrations in solidarity are also expected across the Middle East and many Muslim nations.
In Malaysia, more than 1,000 Muslims have protested outside the US Embassy in Kuala Lumpur.
US President Donald Trump's declaration on Jerusalem departed from decades of US policy and upended long-standing international assurances that the fate of the city would be determined in negotiations.
