A Palestinian teacher was shot and injured by Israeli forces, on Saturday, during raids of the Issawiya neighborhood in occupied East Jerusalem.
Muhammad Abu al-Hummus, member of a local follow-up committee, said that Israeli forces raided the neighborhood as Palestinian students and teachers made their way back home from school.
Abu al-Hummus stressed that one teacher was shot and injured in her hand after Israeli forces repeatedly fired rubber-coated steel bullets and stun grenades across Issawiya.

Separately, Israeli forces arrested the head and deputy head of the Muslim Waqf (Endowment) Council, the organization responsible for maintaining the Al-Aqsa compound, following recent protests in East Jerusalem’s flashpoint Al-Aqsa Mosque. While they were released after a few hours in custody, they have both been banned from Al-Aqsa for seven days.
