The Palestinians are angry over Israel’s offensive action against their compatriots in Gaza.
IDF troops shot and killed a Palestinian youth during clashes near Ramallah, according to Ma’an news agency reports.
Tamer Faraj Sammur, 22, was said to have been shot in the chest by Israeli soldiers in western Tulkarem.
An Israeli army spokeswoman reportedly said she was looking into the incident.
In Jerusalem riot police fired tear-gas at protesters and detained a number of people.
Hamas had called on Palestinians to join a so-called Day of Anger in cities and villages across the West Bank.
There was a smaller but similar scene in Bethlehem where demonstrators were met by IDF soldiers and military vehicles.
