Five demonstrators and three Israeli police officers were injured on Friday during weekly protests against Israel's West Bank barrier, Israeli army radio reported.
Police used teargas grenades to disperse stone-throwing demonstrators in the village of Bilin, north of Ramallah. Four demonstrators were also arrested, the radio reported.
Palestinians claim the barrier is a land grab.
Unity government
Britain will allow diplomatic contacts with non-Hamas ministers in a new Palestinian unity government but will continue to shun members of Hamas, European diplomats said Friday.
"Britain is not going to have contact with Hamas but there are members of the government who are not Hamas and British diplomats will be able to have contact with them," a senior diplomat told Reuters.
A formal British announcement is expected after the unity government between Hamas and Fatah faction wins parliamentary approval on Saturday.
