Violent clashes broke out on Sunday evening after the Israeli occupation police stormed Issawiya district in east Jerusalem and showered local youths with tear gas canisters.
According to local sources several youths in Issawiya confronted the police forces and threw stones and fire bombs at their vehicles.
The Israeli police also imposed movement restrictions on the Jerusalemite citizens in the Old City of Jerusalem and some areas around it and blocked the entrances leading to Silwan district (south of the Aqsa Mosque).
The Israeli movement restrictions took place as senior US and Israeli officials were visiting the holy city.
A high-level US delegation led by senior White House advisors Jared Kushner and Robert O’Brien arrived on Sunday in Israel to meet with Israeli officials before traveling to Abu Dhabi on the first commercial flight between the two countries in order to cement their normalization deal.
