Police say one officer is lightly hurt after Palestinians hurled pipe bombs and Molotov cocktails during the demolition of a gunman’s home in East Jerusalem’s Shuafat refugee camp.
The officer has been taken to a hospital for further medical treatment.
Police add that officers opened fire at a suspect who appeared to have been armed with a gun and was aiming it at the forces during the operation, but later the item was found to be a “dummy weapon.”
The man is reported to be critically hurt, according to the Palestinian Authority Health Ministry.
Forces are wrapping up the demolition of the home of Udai Tamimi, the gunman who killed Sgt. Noa Lazar at a nearby checkpoint last year.
One man has been taken for questioning at the scene, police add.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
