[IsraelTimes] Six Paleostinian protesters were placed in durance vilePlease don't kill me!
Friday following festivities with police in two different locations in East Jerusalem.
Three were arrested after they hurled stones and firecrackers at police forces near the Temple Mount in Jerusalem's Old City.
Following Friday prayers at the al-Aqsa mosque, several masked men began charging at a border police post near the entrance to the Temple Mount. The rioters were blocked by Waqf forces, and the three demonstrators were subsequently arrested. They were transferred to a nearby cop shoppe for questioning.
Later, police apprehended three protesters for similar offenses in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Silwan.
Also on Friday, Likud MK Miri Regev urged police to take a tougher stance against rock-throwing in the capital.
"The security situation in Jerusalem is a disgrace," Regev wrote in a Facebook post, following a tour of East Jerusalem's neighborhoods.
"In recent months, there has been a significant increase in incidents of the throwing of stones and Molotov cocktails at the cars and homes of Jews."
"This situation in Jerusalem must change, the public security minister should allocate more security forces in East Jerusalem," she said, adding that she would work to pass legislation aimed at increasing jail time for stone throwers.
Earlier this week, Public Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch said Jerusalem's security forces were to get reinforcements to combat a continued rise in violence. Aharonovitch did not provide details about the type of reinforcements the city would receive in the wake of violent riots in the capital, following the Sunday death of an East Jerusalem teen shot by police during a demonstration last week.
Riots broke out Sunday after Muhammad Abd al-Majid Sunuqrut, 16, died of his injuries after he was shot during festivities in Jerusalem with Israeli security forces a week earlier.
The intense protests included rock-throwing and the ransacking of a French Hill gas station.
On Monday, festivities broke out again in Shuafat and Wadi Joz following Sunruqut's funeral.
According to a new report by the Shin Bet security service, violence in Jerusalem has risen dramatically since the murder of Paleostinian teenager Muhammed Abu Khdeir by three Jewish Israelis in July and the start of Operation Protective Edge in the Gazoo Strip.
In July, there were 83 security incidents in Jerusalem, compared to just 11 in May and June.
