Violent clashes continued in Bethlehem as Palestinian protesters battled with Israeli security forces. Dozens of Palestinians were injured during the clashes, among many erupting across the Occupied Palestinian Territories as protests have escalated in the West Bank and Gaza due to rising political tensions over the Al-Aqsa mosque, as well as the continued construction of illegal Israeli settlements. At least 42 Palestinians and seven Israelis have died in the latest round of violence.br br COURTESY: RT's RUPTLY video agency, NO RE-UPLOAD, NO REUSE - FOR LICENSING, PLEASE, CONTACT br RT LIVE br Subscribe to RT! br Like us on Facebook Follow us on Twitter Follow us on Instagram Follow us on Google+ Listen to us on Soundcloud: br RT (Russia Today) is a global news network broadcasting from Moscow and Washington studios.
