JERUSALEM, November 16, 2011 (WAFA) – Clashes erupted Wednesday between Palestinian residents and Israeli forces in Al-Thawri, an East Jerusalem neighborhood, according to witnesses.
Witnesses said that the clashes erupted when a military vehicle invaded the neighborhood and a settler fired his gun in the air, provoking the residents.
They said that the Israeli police fired rubber bullets and tear gas bombs at Palestinians, while the later answered back by throwing rocks and glass bottles.
They added that the young Palestinians closed the main road with rocks and burning tires when Israeli police back up reached the place.
To be noted, there are a number of settlers’ houses in the neighborhood, close the residents’ homes. Settlers deliberately provoke and harass the residents as a means to force them to leave the neighborhood.Palestine News & Info Agency - WAFA
