3 Palestinians injured as Border Police interferes to halt armed clashes in East Jerusalem

Undercover Border Police officers have shot and injured three Palestinians, two of whom were armed, during clashes in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Silwan, police say.

Officers say their forces shot at the trio in the wake of a “violent dispute between local individuals,” two of whom were using firearms.

Three have been wounded by police gunfire and taken to the hospital. The severity of their injuries is not immediately clear.

Officers from the Shalem police station are currently at the scene and have launched an investigation into the violent incident, police add.
