Border Police officers, IDF soldiers and Jerusalem city inspectors entered the Arab community of Kafr ‘Aqab near east Jerusalem to ensure that the Health Ministry’s coronavirus orders were being enforced, a police press release reported on Thursday.
After several tickets were written to stores that were open against regulations, the forces were attacked as they were leaving the town.
A group of roughly 100 residents threw stones and fireworks at the security forces. The officers used crowd dispersal means to restore order. One officer was injured on his hand from a thrown rock, but did not require medical attention.
