Violent riots:
Security forces continue at this time (Sunday) on missions to secure Jerusalem Day events.
Over the past few hours, the forces have dealt with a number of riots in the East Jerusalem area and the Old City, which included stone-throwing, violence and assaulting police officers and causing damage to a police car.
During a riot in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in the east of the city, police arrested two suspects after attacking border fighters operating at the scene. In another case, stones were thrown near the garbage gate resulting in the need for a passerby evacuated in a light condition.
