Israeli forces have injured 170 Palestinians protesting against the abduction and murder of a Palestinian teenager in East al-Quds (Jerusalem), Red Crescent medics say.
On Wednesday, the Israeli regime’s riot police attacked crowds of demonstrators in the Beit Hania and Shuafat neighborhoods.
According to reports, the Israeli forces fired tear gas, rubber-coated bullets, stun grenades, and live fire at the protesters.
Meanwhile, Tel Aviv ordered the closure of the al-Aqsa mosque over fears of further protests.
Earlier, the body of the missing 17-year-old Palestinian, identified as Mohammad Abu Khdair, was found in a forest on the western outskirts of the city.
According to the young boy’s family and eyewitnesses, the boy was forcibly pulled into a vehicle in his neighborhood, Shuafat, while en route to prayers.
Meanwhile, similar clashes took place in the besieged Gaza Strip over the youth’s death.
