OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- A Jewish settler on Thursday afternoon fired at a Palestinian youth in Silwan suburb of Jerusalem, less than 24 hours after a Palestinian youth was killed by a Jewish settler in the same neighbourhood.
Israeli radio said that the settler fired live ammunition after an argument with a Palestinian. The radio did not mention if there were any casualties.
Furthermore, confrontations broke out in Jerusalem on Thursday evening between Palestinian youth on the one hand and IOF troops along with extremist Jewish settlers on the other.
Local sources said that IOF troops along with settlers raided a number of Jerusalem neighbourhoods, including al-Bustan, Wadi Helweh and Batn al-Hawa provoking the Palestinian residents who confronted the invaders.
The IOF troops responded by firing rubber-coated bullets and teargas canisters.
Fifteen Palestinians were wounded and dozens suffered breathing problems as a result of inhaling the teargas which was fired extensively at the protesters and at Palestinian homes terrorising women and children and causing breathing difficulties to many.
The same sources said that the IOF did not allow ambulances to reach the injured.
Meanwhile, confrontations were also reported in the northern Jerusalem suburb of Eisaweyyah after IOF troops raided a number of homes in the suburb.
IOF troops also raided the orphans school in Jerusalem at the pretext that stones were thrown at them.
