Border Guard soldiers acted a short time ago in violent disturbances of dozens of rioters in the area of Rachel's Tomb.
An MGB soldier was slightly injured by a bomb that was thrown at the forces. The fighters were called to disperse a riot of about 40 Palestinians in the Aida refugee camp near the grave.
During the disturbances, stones, various objects and one improvised bomb were thrown at the MGB soldiers.
The rioters also blocked the roads.
Border Guard fighters responded by shooting with means to disperse demonstrations.
As a result of the dropping of the load, an MGB soldier was slightly injured and was taken to receive medical treatment in Shaare Zedek. In addition, a MGB officer was slightly injured and was treated on the spot.
The police said that arrests are expected in the future.

The IDF, the Mageb and the police prepared for another week of security tensions, in the shadow of the wave of attacks in the Yosh territories and in Jerusalem from the past few weeks, with a rate of about three attacks in the past
week.
A preliminary investigation of the attack revealed that the terrorist, who was armed with a knife, first tried to break into an Israeli car in which an IDF officer was driving and was shot by him. The terrorist became weak, and an MGB officer who was nearby confronted the terrorist and later shot him with a gun and killed him while they were kissing on the floor.
The terrorist died of his wounds.
The night before the incident in Hawara, shots were fired at an Israeli bus traveling near the British police intersection in the Ofra area of Judea and Samaria.
Bullets hit the bus, but there were no casualties in the incident.
