Israeli forces fire bullets, stun grenades and tear gas at Palestinian youths throwing stones and Molotov cocktails.
The Israeli forces fired live bullets, stun grenades, and tear gas at the crowd of Palestinian youths who hurled stones, a witness told the Reuters news agency. Video clips uploaded to social media also purported to show Molotov cocktails thrown at Israeli troops.
The Palestinian health ministry said at least six people were transferred to the hospital for treatment, including three who sustained gunshot wounds by Israeli forces. Photojournalist Momen Sum rein was among those shot and was being treated in hospital for a head wound, Palestinian news agency WAFA said.
“At around 5:30 am [03:30 GMT], the army completed the demolition of the Froukh home, destroying it from the inside due to its location on the first floor of a four-story building displacing his parents and four sisters who lived in the apartment,” WAFA reported.
Islam Froukh was arrested in December and accused of carrying out the November 23 bombings at Jerusalem bus stops that killed two people, including an Israeli-Canadian teenager, and wounded 14 others.
