Border police officer injured in riot after pipe bomb hurled at officers
A border police officer is moderately injured in a riot with Palestinian protesters outside Jerusalem after protesters hurled a pipe bomb at officers, police say
The female officer is injured by a rock thrown by rioters in the West Bank town of Abu Dis. She is taken to Hadassah Ein Kerem Medical Center for treatment.
The pipe bomb thrown at officers caused damage to the gate of the police base, but no injuries were reported in the explosion. A statement from Border Police says officers were using “nonlethal measures” to disperse the dozens of demonstrators.
