RT's correspondent also reported that the Palestinian legislator Mustafa Barghouti was rushed to hospital and is in serious condition after being hit in the head by an "Israeli" tear gas canister at Qalandia checkpoint in West Bank.

"Ambulances are racing to and from the scene," the agency added.
The standoff between the "Israeli" army and Palestinians continues at various checkpoints, with occasional bursts of tear gas being fired at protesters. "Israeli" forces were using water cannons and rubber bullets.
At least 130 people have reportedly been wounded throughout the West Bank so far, according to medical sources. Reports also suggest that four medics were struck with rubber bullets.

Moreover, two Palestinians have been injured as "Israeli" forces were carrying out mass arrests in al-Quds, particularly around Damascus gate in the old city.
The Palestinian rallies, joined by international human rights activists, are part of an international campaign named Global March on al-Quds, a peaceful international movement that also condemns the "Israeli" occupation of the holy city.
