Media sources said that the clashes erupted when Israeli forces violently broke into Issawiya town, east of the city, amid heavy firing of live and rubber bullets. 

Tear gas bombs were also intensively fired during the clashes, leading to breathing problems among many local youths.

Three youths were arrested after Israeli forces stormed a number of homes in the town.

Similar clashes were reported in Kattana town, northwest of the city, following a funeral procession for Ahmad Jamal Taha, 16.

Medical sources confirmed that 11 Palestinians were injured during the clashes that erupted after a funeral in Kattana village. Seven Palestinians were injured with live fire and three more with rubber-coated steel bullets while 30 choked on tear gas.

An ambulance was targeted with rubber bullets during the confrontations, the sources added.
