JERUSALEM (Ma'an) -- Over 50 people were injured in ongoing clashes with Israeli forces in occupied East Jerusalem following the kidnapping and killing of a 16-year-old Palestinian from the Shufat neighborhood, medics said Wednesday.
Rajih al-Hawarin, a Red Crescent paramedic, told Ma'an that as of 1:30 p.m. 37 Palestinians had been hit by rubber-coated bullets and six by shrapnel in clashes in Shufat.
Two Palestinians also sustained fractures after being assaulted by Israeli police officers, al-Hawarin said. It was unclear how the remainder of the Palestinians were injured.
He said soldiers were firing tear gas, rubber-coated bullets, stun grenades, and live fire at protesters, and that a total of 17 Palestinians required hospitalization for their injuries. more
