"Silwan, Jerusalem (SILWANIC) -- Violent clashes erupted in al-Bustan neighborhood of Silwan today after the end of the Friday prayer held weekly in al-Bustan protest tent. Confrontations were sparked by a heavy amassing of Israeli troops, first at the entrances to the village and then closing in. Each Friday sees tensions raised in Silwan as Israeli forces tighten the military stranglehold over the area.

Barriers were erected at these entrances from early morning, with the Wadi Rababa entrance closed entirely by troops. Israeli forces have been firing tear gas and rubber bullets at crowds of Palestinian residents, with clashes centered around Samer Sarhan street on the outskirts of Wadi Hilweh, named after the martyr killed by a settler guard last September.
