Death toll mounts as Palestinians protest at US embassy move

Violence at the Israeli-Gaza border continues to escalate as the United States shifts its embassy in Israel controversially from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Israeli forces are believed to have killed at least 58 Palestinians along the border in the conflict's bloodiest day in years. More than 2,700 Palestinians have been wounded amid the clashes and protests over the opening of the new embassy.
