Over 170 Palestinians were injured in clashes with Israeli forces in occupied East Jerusalem on Wednesday following the kidnapping and killing of a 16-year-old Palestinian from the Shufat neighborhood, medics said.

Red Crescent medics said 170 Palestinians were injured in the clashes, including three with live bullets.

At least 35 people were injured by rubber bullets, including six journalists, and three people suffered fractures after being assaulted by Israeli police officers.

Palestine TV reporter Kristine Rinawi and cameramen Ali Yasin and Ahmad Gharabla were among those reported injured.

Rajih al-Hawarin, a Red Crescent paramedic, told Ma'an that soldiers were firing tear gas, rubber-coated bullets, stun grenades, and live fire at protesters.
