Clashes resume in the Shuafat refugee camp in East Jerusalem, as a manhunt for a Palestinian gunman who killed an Israeli soldier enters its fourth day.

Police have been searching Shuafat for Udai Tamimi, a Palestinian man suspected of shooting and killing Sgt. Noa Lazar at a checkpoint near the camp on Saturday night.

Footage shows officers launching tear gas and sound grenades at a crowd that was reportedly demonstrating against the heavy police presence in the area.

Clashes in recent days have led to some injuries among Palestinians and officers.
