Attempted assault by Border Police fighters, hoisting "fire flags" and violence during Walid El Sharif's funeral procession, which disrupted order about a month ago in the Temple Mount riots • Five suspects arrested


Tensions in Jerusalem, and especially in the east of the city, are not easing.

A number of riots and violent riots broke out in the vicinity of the Old City.

Police forces are working against lawbreakers and rioters who are trying to harm police forces and are violating public order in the area including stone-throwing and bottle-throwing.

These riots are taking place against the background of the funeral of Walid El Sharif, who broke the order about a month ago on the Temple Mount.

Prior to his injury he was masked throwing stones and rioting on the spot, and at one point was seriously injured while falling to the floor during his escape and being hit in the head.

Al Sharif died of his wounds at Hadassah Hospital. 

The Israel Police coordinated the funeral process with the family members, but hundreds of lawbreakers and rioters took advantage of the funeral to disturb the order and violence. 

During the funeral procession, nationalist cries were heard and Hamas and PLO flags were hoisted.

A vehicle drove quickly towards the Border Police fighters, hitting a passerby who was at the scene.

The fighters carried out a suspicious arrest procedure that included shooting in the direction of the vehicle’s wheels.

The fighters arrested five suspects who were in the vehicle (three Qalandiya residents, a Silwan resident and a northern resident).

There are no casualties among our forces or among the suspects arrested.

Maor Tzemach, chairman of the Lech Yerushalayim organization, stated that "for the first time since Tzuk Eitan Israel, it is possible to return the body of a terrorist to East Jerusalem, while the escorts are inciting against the State of Israel.

Former Minister of Internal Security Gilad Ardan did not allow a burial campaign for terrorists in East Jerusalem.

Another security border has been breached in Jerusalem. "
