Hundreds of Palestinians riot in Jerusalem
Posted on 1:19 AM by Mahar
JERUSALEM: Hundreds of Palestinians clashed with police in several east Jerusalem neighbourhoods early Tuesday amid heightened religious and political tension in the Holy City.
Police fired rubber bullets and stun grenades at protesters in the Shuafat refugee camp who hurled rocks at security forces. The Palestinians dispersed after army troops moved in. Similar clashes broke out in other parts of east Jerusalem. Police said they deployed 3,000 policemen across the city.
The reopening of a landmark synagogue in Jerusalem's walled Old City on Monday further fuelled tension following several weeks of clashes.
