Riots break out in Jerusalem after Palestinian man attacks police
2019-06-28
[Jpost] Riots have broken out in the east Jerusalem neighborhood of Issawiya on Thursday night, after a Paleostinian man was earlier killed by Israeli Border Police.

A police spokesperson said there are large numbers of units in the area, as police and soldiers have encountered rioters throwing stones and fireworks, and police units have gathered in other neighborhoods around the city in case of further incidents throughout the night.

Earlier on Thursday evening a masked man approached coppers from a side-street in Issawiya and fired fireworks directly towards them, and was shot in response.
Moral: Don't bring fireworks to a gunfight
The dear departed was 20-year-old resident of Issawiya who had previously served time in prison for intending to carry out a terror attack against Israelis and had recently been released.

He was taken to hospital at death's door and later died of his wounds.
The Times of Israel adds:
The Ir Amim rights group identified the dead man as Mohammad Samir Obeid.

Following the shooting, protests between East Jerusalem residents and Israeli security personnel resulted in at least 20 injuries to the demonstrators.

Hebrew media reported that over the past few weeks police have entered Issawiya on a nightly basis in a bid to track down members of a Popular Front for the Liberation of Paleostine terror cell believed to be on the lam in the neighborhood. The police operations have led to regular festivities with local residents.
