STORYLINE
Dozens of protesters also clashed on Friday with police during a protest against the eviction of Palestinians from their homes in East Jerusalem.
In recent weeks, Israeli settlers have evicted families from several houses in Sheik Jarrah, a neighbourhood in East Jerusalem.
Both sides claim ownership of the properties.
The status of East Jerusalem is one of the most explosive issues in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Israel took control of East Jerusalem in the 1967 Mideast war and annexed it, but the move was not recognised by any other country.
Since then, Israel has boosted the Jewish presence there, building neighbourhoods where about 180-thousand Jews now live.
The Palestinians want East Jerusalem as the capital of their hoped-for state.
Organisations linked to the Jewish West Bank settlement movement have also bought properties inside Palestinian neighbourhoods in Jerusalem and moved in Israeli residents.
In a separate protest on Friday, protesters clashed with Israeli soldiers during a weekly demonstration against Israel''s separation barrier near the West Bank town of Bilin.
A group of Palestinian, Israeli and foreign activists marched towards the barrier carrying flags and banners. Some threw stones towards the Israeli soldiers on the other side, who fired teargas to disperse them.
Palestinians have been staging weekly demonstrations to protest the barrier''s route, which crosses through their villages, cutting farmers off from hundreds of acres of agricultural fields.
Israel says the barrier is needed to stop Palestinian militants from crossing into Israel to carry out attacks. Palestinians call it a land grab because parts of it jut deep into the West Bank, cutting them off from territory they claim for a future state.
Israel began building the nearly 500-mile (800-kilometre) barrier in 2002 and it is about two-thirds complete.
The Israeli government has classified the areas where troops have clashed frequently and increasingly violently with protesters as as closed military zones.
Also on Friday, Palestinian protesters clashed with Jewish settlers in the Halamish area in the northern West Bank, near the village of Nabi Saleh, over a spring claimed by both groups.
Protesters tore down a wooden structure built by the settlers near the spring, and the two groups scuffled and threw stones at each other.
Israeli soldiers arrived at the scene and separated the two groups, firing teargas to disperse the Palestinians.
