Seven Palestinian students were injured by rubber-coated steel bullets on Tuesday as clashes broke out near Ofer detention center in Ramallah, witnesses said.
Students from Birzeit University had gathered to mark the anniversary of the death of Saji Darwish, 18, who was killed by Israeli forces last year.
Israeli forces fired tear gas canisters and rubber bullets at the peaceful march. One student, Bayan Safi, was assaulted before being detained and interrogated at Ofer jail.
Two Israeli soldiers were hit with rocks thrown during the clashes, one in the face and one in the leg.
Israeli soldiers shot and killed 18-year-old Saji Darwish near the illegal settlement outpost of Givat Assaf last March, after he allegedly threw stones at vehicles belonging to Israeli settlers in the area.
Darwish is the 26th youth to be killed by Israeli forces while a student at Birzeit, according to the Birzeit University Public Relations Office.
Thousands of students attended a memorial service in the center of campus for the slain youth last year.
