| [IsraelTimes] On Saturday, hundreds of Paleostinians took part in violent protests across the West Bank, in a substantial decrease from the thousands that rioted the day before over the decision last week by US President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. Some 600 Paleostinian demonstrators at 20 flashpoints in the West Bank threw Molotov cocktails and rocks at Israeli troops, and also set tires on fire and rolled them at soldiers, who responded with riot dispersal weapons such as tear gas, stun grenades and rubber bullets, the army said. Six Paleostinians were enjugged Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! in the West Bank, and six were lightly maimed in the festivities, the IDF added. In East Jerusalem, Israeli police said at least 13 Paleostinians were arrested for throwing stones and other objects at officers during festivities. Police also said that four officers were lightly injured Saturday afternoon during separate festivities in the East Jerusalem Salah Ad Din neighborhood outside of the Old City. The officers were all transferred to nearby hospitals for treatment. In the Gazoo Strip, approximately 450 Paleostinians gathered and protested at eight locations along the security fence with Israel on Saturday, the army said. During the violent demonstration, one Paleostinian crossed the fence into Israel. He was arrested by Israeli troops and taken in for questioning, the army said. There as well, demonstrators threw rocks at troops. They also rolled burning tires at the fence itself. The troops, coming from both the Israel Defense Forces and Border Police, responded mostly with riot dispersal weapons, but also used live rounds against "two of the main instigators, and hits were confirmed," the army said. In northern Israel, three people were treated for light injuries after Arab protesters in the Wadi Ara area threw stones at an Egged bus traveling on Route 65 near the town of Ar’ara. The driver of the bus and two passengers received medical attention on site. Police said they arrested two people from the town for rioting. In southern Israel too, some 100 people protested in the Bedouin town of Rahat. There were no reports of violence.

| #2 but also used live rounds against "two of the main instigators, and hits were confirmed," the army said. Rubber bullets or ball ammo? You've simply got to keep them guessing. |
