The Israeli army on Friday hurled stun grenades during a Hizbullah-organized demo near the Lebanese-Israeli border, Lebanon's National News Agency said.

“Israeli soldiers hurled two stun grenades this afternoon at a number of young men who approached the electronic border fence,” NNA said.

The young men were taking part in a rally organized by Hizbullah “in support and solidarity with Jerusalem,” the agency added.

The demo was held at the Fatima border wall in the southern town of Kfarkila.

Palestinians marked another "day of rage" on Friday in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip in protest at U.S. President Donald Trump's controversial December 6 recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

Tens of thousands of Hizbullah supporters had demonstrated in Beirut's southern suburbs on December 11 in protest at Trump's move.
