Israeli troops wounded Al Mayadeen journalist Hanaa Mahameed Sunday, whereas she was trying to report on the killing of a Palestine youth Fadi Alloun by Isreali forces.
Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas urged the Palestinian security forces to quell the violence, accusing Israel of pouring oil on the flames of the uprisings.
Violence struck again at around 4 a.m. on Sunday when a Palestinian from the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Issawiya stabbed and wounded a 15-year-old Jewish boy on a road outside the Old City, according to the police.
In this context, Nidal al-Bizri, the president of the Nablus Businessmen Forum, told Al-Monitor, “The Palestinian participation in the opening of such a hall amid the continuous Israeli attacks on Al-Aqsa Mosque looks like a hard decision for Palestinian businessmen”.
Violence intensified in Jerusalem and the West Bank on Sunday after Israelis were targeted in two stabbing attacks and a Palestinian was killed in a clash with Israeli troops, officials said.
