The U.S.

Embassy in Israel is officially relocating to Jerusalem Monday.  And thousands of Palestinians in the West Bank and Jerusalem  have been encouraged  to protest the move.

As of early afternoon local time, Israel security forces were already reportedly clashing with protesters and at least two Palestinians had died.

Palestinians in Gaza are  also still protesting  along the border with Israel.

Those protests, called the Great March of Return, started  back in late March  on what Palestinians call Land Day.

It commemorates resistance to what Palestinians consider Israeli land confiscation.

Israeli Defense Forces has responded forcefully to the protests, which it's described  as "violent riots."  The IDF says Palestinians have thrown explosive devices at Israeli soldiers, set fire to buildings and damaged the border fence.

As of late Sunday local time, nearly 50 Palestinians have died and more than 9,500  have been injured  in the border protests, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza.

No Israelis have been killed or injured.

The border protests are scheduled to end Tuesday.

That's the day Palestinians refer to as "Nakba," or the day of catastrophe, when Palestinians fled modern-day Israel following the Jewish state's founding in 1948.  Additional reporting from  Newsy affiliate CNN .
