In Occupied Jerusalem Israeli plain-clothes police officers arrested yesterday evening two Palestinian young men in Jabel Mukaber neighborhood.
Local sources told Quds Press that the Israeli police ambushed a group of young men in the neighborhood after the nearby illegal settlement of Armon Hanatziv was reportedly showered with firecrackers.
They said that undercover police officers opened fire at the youths and injured at least one of them before arresting the wounded young man and another one.
Afterwards the Israeli police cordoned off the neighborhood and sent reinforcements to deal with any possible protest.
In an earlier incident on the same day an unidentified Palestinian young man suffered a bullet injury in the leg after Israeli soldiers opened fire at him during his presence on a road near Sinjil town north of Ramallah city.
