Palestinian boy wounded in clash with police
A 10-year-old Palestinian boy from the Shuafat refugee camp in East Jerusalem is moderately wounded after he is hit in the face by a foam pellet fired by a Border Police officer.
His injury comes as a group of Palestinian youths throw rocks at the Israeli law enforcement officers, who respond with crowd-control munitions, Ynet reports.
He is evacuated by ambulance to the Hadassah Hospital in the city’s Ein Kerem neighborhood.
The Border Police are securing infrastructure works in the area.
On Wednesday, a Palestinian man plowed a car into a group of police officers, injuring two in an alleged deliberate attack. He was shot dead by officers at the scene.
