JERUSALEM (Ma'an) -- Palestinian youths sustained injuries overnight in a confrontation with Israeli soldiers and police officers in al-Isawiya in occupied East Jerusalem, a Ma'an reporter said.

One young man sustained serious injuries, witnesses said.

Confrontations began Tuesday afternoon in the center of al-Isawiya after Israeli forces broke into the home of Ayyoub Ubeid and detained him under the pretext that he hurled stones at Israeli soldiers in the town.

Witnesses told Ma’an that two Israeli officers sustained injuries along with dozens of Palestinians. A young man was shot by a rubber-coated bullet in the head, and medics said he was seriously hurt.
