Rioters threw rocks at the undercover border cops as they carried out the arrests, prompting security forces to shoot at the legs of those responsible for the violence. The suspects were taken in for questioning.

Border Policemen also confiscated overnight Tuesday M4 and M-16 assault rifles, a handgun and ammunition during a raid in a refugee camp in the West Bank. According to suspicions, the weapons were used last Thursday during a demonstration in a refugee camp south of Hebron.

Other improvised weapons were also confiscated during the demonstration, including a Carl Gustav submachine gun.

The Israeli security forces arrested four Palestinian suspects who were brought in for questioning by the Shin Bet, but it remains unclear whether they are guilty of possession of the confiscated weapons.

The protest was just one in a wave of demonstrations that have taken place since US President Donald Trump announced last week Washington’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
