JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israel deployed hundreds of extra police in Jerusalem where clashes broke out after Palestinian leaders called for a "day of rage" on Friday to protest at new Israeli security measures.

Palestinians also protested in a number of cities in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, including Ramallah, Hebron and Nablus, where a young man was shot by Israeli security forces after throwing a fire bomb, the Israeli army and medics said.
