Palestinians injured in clashes with Israeli forces in occupied Jerusalem

GAZA, Sept 25 (KUNA) -- A number of Palestinians were injured during clashes with Israeli forces in neighborhoods and villages in occupied Jerusalem on Saturday, local radio stations reported.
Most of the clashes took place in Silwan village, south of Al-Aqsa Mosque, amidst Israeli military siege over the town following the murder of Palestinian Samer Sarhan by a Jewish settlers' guard three days ago.
The radio reports said Palestinian youth were hurling stones and empty bottles at the Israeli army vehicles, as well as setting tyres ablaze to disturb traffic.
The Israeli forces fired sound and tear gas bombs at the Palestinians injuring some of them, they added.
A 14-month-old Palestinian boy was killed when he inhaled the gas bombs fired by the Israeli forces yesterday. (end) mzt.bs KUNA 252343 Sep 10NNNN
