The Palestinian health ministry in Gaza retracted an earlier statement on Friday saying a second man had been killed in clashes with Israeli forces, explaining he was instead in critical condition.

The man was shot in the head Friday in clashes prompted by US President Donald Trump's planned embassy move, with the health ministry in Gaza announcing he had died.

It later retracted the statement, noting he was in "very critical" condition. Another man was killed in clashes in southern Gaza earlier Friday, the first death in the protests against Trump's move.
