East Jerusalem Clashes Follow Teen's Murder -- Al Jazeera
Youths clash with Israeli police amid probe into possible link between Palestinian's killing and murder of settlers.
Police and Palestinian youths have clashed in East Jerusalem after the body of a Palestinian teenager was found in the city, prompting a police investigation into a possible link to the murder of three Israeli settlers.
An Al Jazeera journalist at the scene in Shufat, a Palestinian neighbourhood, on Wednesday reported seeing at least two Palestinians hit by rubber bullets during the pitched battles described by residents as the largest clashes in East Jerusalem in years.
Other sources said dozens of people had been injured and that three Palestinian journalists had been struck by rubber bullets.
Police have also been using stun grenades.
"From 7am the army has tried to block off this neighbourhood. ... they forced me and my employees to leave ... . I think they are taking revenge for what happened [the dead settlers]," said Akram al-Salameh, the owner of a bakery nearby who was wounded.
Jerusalem has been tense since the bodies of the young Israeli settlers were found, and the police have reinforced their presence in Palestinian neighbourhoods.
