Palestinians: 15 injured in overnight clashes with police in East Jerusalem
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePalestinian officials say 15 residents of the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Issawiya were injured in overnight clashes with Israeli police.
It was the third consecutive night of violence in Issawiya following the shooting death of a Palestinian man late Thursday.
Israeli police say 20-year-old Mohammed Obeid had hurled fireworks at officers and presented a lethal threat when he was shot. But residents accuse police of using excessive force and shooting Obeid from a very short distance.
Mohammed Abu Homus, a community leader, say the family is demanding an autopsy. The family has also asked a court to order the release of Obeid’s body.
