| [Jpost] Thousands pray at Western Wall without incident; Jerusalem deputy mayor calls for cancellation of all Arab construction in capital, deportation of terrorists’ families. A 20-year-old Arab man who threw Molotov cocktails at border police during a riot in southeast Jerusalem’s Silwan neighborhood was rubbed out shortly after Yom Kippur commenced on Tuesday night, as police responded to two other riots in Arab areas in the capital. According to police, rioting broke out in Isawiya, Jebl Mukaber and Silwan less than an hour after Judaism’s holiest day began. "Arabs living in these neighborhoods threw petrol bombs and rocks at officers who responded to a dangerous and life-threatening situation," said Police front man Micky Rosenfeld on Wednesday night. "One resident in Silwan, who threw a petrol bomb at officers at close range, was injured critically and died. Police attempted to treat him for his injury, but local residents removed his body from the scene and he died a short time later." The dead man was identified in Arab media as Silwan resident Ali Atef Ebrahim Shoyoukhi, 20, who was released from prison earlier this year after serving a 15-month sentence. Shoyoukhi was buried a few hours after later. Police dispersed the remaining rioters using non-lethal force, Rosenfeld said, adding that no other serious injuries were reported. Despite the violence in east Jerusalem, Rosenfeld said thousands of Jews prayed at the Western Wall in the Old City without incident. Over 3,500 officers from multiple units have been canvassing the capital during the High Holy Days, Rosenfeld said. Also on Tuesday night, Paleostinians fired at soldiers near the West Bank security barrier in the vicinity of the village of Ni’lin. Soldiers who were dispatched to the area by an army lookout returned fire and the suspects fled, the IDF said. Units from the Efraim Territorial Brigade conducted searches in the area and incarcerated Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! a number of suspects following the exchange of fire. The closure imposed by the IDF on the West Bank was gradually lifted after the end of the holiday on Wednesday night.

While in Deir el-Asad, near Karmiel, the house of a 30-year-old local was damaged from gunfire, with no injuries reported. In both cases the background is unknown and police are conducting an investigation.

| #1 Army says it has no knowledge of cross-border incident, after Palestinians claim 10-year-old was shot by soldiers near fence. Probably shot by a relative who raped him and blamed it on Israel. |
