Local sources told WAFA that Israeli soldiers raided a clubhouse in Kufr Aqab, a Palestinian neighborhood north of Jerusalem located beyond Israel’s apartheid barrier that surrounds Jerusalem, in an arrest operation.
Residents clashed with the soldiers who used live fire to disperse them causing the three injuries. Two people were also detained.
