Ramadan clash with Isreali troops in Jerusalem
Hundreds of Palestinians today rioted and clashed with Israeli forces at five checkpoints around Jerusalem after being prevented from entering Israel to mark the Ramadan holy month at Islam’s third-holiest site.
Soldiers dispersed the crowds with stun grenades, tear gas, rubber bullets and water cannons. At one checkpoint outside Jerusalem, desperate protesters used ladders to scale Israel’s massive concrete separation barrier.
