Hundreds of Palestinians clashed with Israeli security forces across East Jerusalem on Wednesday, with residents in various neighbourhoods burning tires and rubbish bins, and hurling stones and firecrackers at security forces, according to Israel Police.
Officers responded with tear gas and stun grenades, and two were lightly wounded in clashes in Isawiyah, possibly by explosive devices, police said.
The clashes erupted in at least eight neighbourhoods, some of which have remained quiet in recent days. These include Isawiyah, Silwan, A-Tur, Ras al-Amud, the Shuafat refugee camp, Jabel Mukaber, Sur Baher and Beit Hanina.
They were sparked by the hunt for Uday Tamimi, the man who is believed to have shot and killed 18-year-old Sergeant Noa Lazar at the Shuafat refugee camp on Sunday.
Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked visited the checkpoint in East Jerusalem where Lazar was killed, and announced that she ordered Israel's Population Authority to start checking the option of revoking Tamimi and his family's residency
Earlier on Wednesday, 18-year-old Palestinian Mahmoud Adwai was killed by Israeli military fire in the Al-Aroub refugee camp near Bethlehem, the Palestinian Health Ministry reported.
An Israeli soldier was killed in a shooting near the settlement of Shavei Shomron in the northern West Bank on Tuesday, the military said.
