A group of high school students was attacked by rock-throwers in the flashpoint Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in Jerusalem, police say.
A youth was lightly wounded and given medical treatment, according to the police, who reported that, amid the rock-throwing, an observer fired a gunshot in the air.
Police say that a 15-year-old suspect was arrested and brought in for interrogation for carrying out the rock-throwing.
The right-wing Honenu organization said that a staff member of the high school group was the one who fired in the air to disperse the attackers.
