Rising Violence in Israel: Police Shootings and Killings Spark Protests.

DNA evidence found on the gun of a police officer proves that a man who was shot in Jerusalem's Old City had grabbed the gun of the officer and carried out a terror attack. The man, Mohammed Elasibi, was accused of grabbing and firing the weapon twice before he was shot dead by officers near the Temple Mount. Eyewitnesses and Arab officials have mostly rejected that version of events, and former police officials said it is "hard to believe" the force's insistence that the shooting wasn't captured on any of the many CCTV cameras in the area.
