Violent clashes broke out on Saturday evening between Palestinian young men and Israeli police forces in Silwan district south of the Aqsa Mosque in Occupied Jerusalem.
According to the Jerusalem Media Center the clashes took place in Bir Ayoub and Baten al-Hawa neighborhoods in Silwan.
Eyewitnesses reported that young men hurled stones at the police forces who responded by intensively firing volleys of tear gas and stun grenades onto homes and streets.
In recent days the Israeli occupation forces have escalated their suppression of protests staged in solidarity with the hunger-striking prisoners in Israeli jails.
On Friday about 200 Palestinians suffered from bullet or tear gas injuries during angry protests in flashpoint areas of the West Bank Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip.
