The clashes erupted on Friday in the city of al-Khalil (Hebron) and Israeli forces fired tear gas and dyed water to disperse the protesters.
Thousands of Israeli police reinforcements have been dispatched to al-Quds (Jerusalem) ahead of demonstrations that are slated to mark Land Day on Saturday.
March 30 is commemorated because of a deadly incident on that day in 1976 in which Israeli troops killed six Palestinians during a protest against the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian lands.
During 2012 Land Day protests one person was killed and more than two dozen others were wounded after Israeli forces opened fire on demonstrations in the northern Gaza Strip.
On the same day in the West Bank, Israeli forces beat up the crowd of peaceful demonstrators in al-Quds and arrested a number of protesters. Israeli police also fired rubber bullets, and tear-gas, and used stun grenades to disperse the protesters.
