Border Police officers clashed Saturday night with residents of the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Issawiya. According to Paleostinian reports dozens of locals were maimed by tear gas, baton blows and rubber bullets, as was at least one officer, who was hurt by a rock hurled by a rioter. Tensions have flared in the neighborhood, a site of frequent festivities between Paleostinians and security forces, after the police unilaterally violated an agreement it had with the residents to keep officers away from schools during the school day, Haaretz reported.
