The incident happened when extremist settlers started to brutalize Palestinian citizens in Baten al-Hawa neighborhood in Silwan according to local activists.
The situation swiftly escalated into a brawl between young men from the neighborhood and the Jewish assailants who then opened fire randomly in the area.
Consequently Israeli police troops with an ambulance rushed to the scene blocked roads in Silwan and barred the movement of vehicles.
There is still no information if the victimized Palestinians suffered gunshot wounds or only cuts and bruises resulting from the fight.
The Palestinian natives in east Jerusalem are exposed repeatedly to harassment and assaults by extremist Jewish settlers who live in seized homes and outposts in the holy city.
