When Israeli police attempted to invade Jenin refugee camp Monday night, to kidnap a militant, they were met with live fire. As the police exited Jenin, about 150 Palestinians began rioting and throwing stones, Molotov cocktails and an improvised grenade.
Unfortunately a Palestinian fighter was killed in clashes with Israeli forces in the West Bank.
In Jerusalem on Monday, Israeli police fired stun grenades, rubber bullets and water cannons to disperse stone-throwers.
Palestinian medics said that 33 Palestinians were injured, including an 11-year-old girl hit in the face by a stun grenade.
The area around the Damascus Gate has been a scene of confrontations, including during last year’s Ramadan, when Muslims fast from dawn to dusk.
At the time, police prevented Palestinians from gathering at the Damascus Gate after breaking their daily fast, disrupting a long-standing practice.
Nightly clashes erupted, with tensions rapidly spreading and triggering a two-week war between Israel and Palestinian militants.
Muslim religious officials administering the Al-Aqsa Mosque area estimated that about 90,000 people attended Monday’s events.
A “day of rage” on Tuesday in response to the deaths of the two terrorists and in support of Palestinian prisoners who have been mistreated by the Israel Prison Service in recent weeks.
