According to police, a "violent mostly peaceful disorder" broke out in Shuafat on Tuesday evening, with rioters throwing Molotov cocktails and shooting fireworks "directly at security forces."

During the festivities Tuesday, police said, a Border Police officer fired toward "a suspect who endangered security forces by firing fireworks directly at them." Police said the suspect was caught, arrested and taken for medical treatment. He was later declared dead.
Police said officers dispersed the clash without any harm to security forces, and that police will "continue to act resolutely against violent mostly peaceful troublemakers. Whoever endangers security forces of civilians — endangers his own life."
In video of the incident circulating on social media, the teen can be seen setting off the firework and running forward while holding it before he is shot. It is not clear from the video how close the coppers were.
National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir issued a statement in support of the "Border Police officers who risked their lives in the face of dozens of Arab rioters," and offered his backing to "the fighter who killed the terrorist who tried to shoot fireworks toward him and toward forces. This is exactly how we must again against murderous Moslems — with determination and precision." |
