<div id="BODYdiv" class="ViewDetails_BodyDiv">JERUSALEM (Ma'an) --
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.<br>
<br>
Red Crescent medics said 170 Palestinians were injured in the
clashes, including three with live bullets.<br>
<br>
At least 35 people were injured by rubber bullets, including six
journalists, and three people suffered fractures after being
assaulted by Israeli police officers.<br>
<br>
Palestine TV reporter Kristine Rinawi and cameramen Ali Yasin and
Ahmad Gharabla were among those reported injured.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
Clashes broke out early Wednesday as Palestinians took to the
streets to protest the kidnapping and killing of 16-year-old
Muhammad Abu Khdeir.<br>
<br>
Eyewitnesses told AFP 16-year-old Muhammed was seen being forced
into a car by three Israelis in East Jerusalem.<br>
<br>
Shortly after dawn, crowds of angry Palestinians began gathering
outside the teenager's home in Shufat, with clashes erupting
around 8:00 a.m.<br>
<br>
Clouds of black smoke rose into the summer sky as hundreds of
masked Palestinians faced off with Israeli police in riot gear.<br>
<br>
Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld wrote on Twitter: "Extra
police units deployed in Jerusalem to deal with disturbances in
the Bet Hanina area. Damage caused to light rail station by
rioters."<br>
<br>
As the clashes raged in Shufat, where the streets were littered
with burning dumpsters and makeshift barricades, the only place of
relative calm was the family home, an AFP correspondent said.<br>
<br>
Wearing a blue headscarf, 40-year-old Suha Abu Khder, mother of
the missing teen, sat in stunned silence, sometimes breaking down
in tears in a room filled with relatives and friends. <br>
<br>
Ansam Abu Khder, one of the teenager's cousins, said witnesses had
written down the car's license plate and that police were
examining CCTV footage. <br>
<br>
"We knew about Mohammed's kidnapping by three Israelis just before
the dawn prayers. A witness saw them and took down the license
plate," he told AFP. <br>
<br>
DNA tests proved the body was that of the missing teenager, his
father said.<br>
<br>
"The body belongs to my son," Hussein Abu Khder told AFP, saying
his identity had been confirmed through tests but the cause of
death was not immediately clear.<br>
<br>
Israeli police had earlier summoned Abu Khdeir's father for
questioning at the Russian Compound center in West Jerusalem,
relatives said.<br>
<br>
The family denied allegations that the boy could have been killed
in a family dispute, citing eyewitnesses as saying they tried to
stop the kidnapping but the suspects took Abu Khdeir and fled the
scene.<br>
<br>
The families of the three murdered Israeli teenagers issued a
statement condemning the incident. <br>
<br>
"If the Arab youth was murdered because of nationalistic motives
then this is a horrible and horrendous act," it said. <br>
<br>
"There is no difference between Arab blood and Jewish blood.
Murder is murder. There is no forgiveness or justification for any
murder."<br>
<br>
In a separate development, suspected Jewish extremists set fire to
the ground floor of a house in the West Bank village of Aqraba
near Nablus, police said. <br>
<br>
On the walls was Hebrew graffiti reading "Revenge of the Jews" and
"Mohammed is dead" in reference to the Muslim prophet.<br>
