Palestinian protesters and Israeli troops have clashed in the occupied West Bank as thousands of Israelis marched to the site of a demolished settlement and called on the government to rebuild it.

Palestinian paramedics said they treated at least eight people who were struck by rubber bullets or tear gas canisters fired by Israeli soldiers in the village of Burqa.
