"Security Measures in Jerusalem as Muslims Begin Ramadan Amid Tensions"

"Fatal Shooting of 12-Year-Old Palestinian by Israeli Forces Sparks Controversy"

Bellingcat has geolocated footage showing the fatal shooting of 12-year-old Rami Hamdan Al-Halhouli in Shuafat Refugee Camp in East Jerusalem. The footage captures Rami lighting a firework and moving towards the Separation Barrier before falling to the ground after a shot is heard. Audio analysis suggests the bullet was fired before the firework was launched. Israeli police have initiated an investigation into the incident, while Israel’s National Security Minister has voiced support for the police officer involved. Rami’s family claims the bullet hit him in the heart, and his body has not yet been released to the family.

Tensions Escalate in Jerusalem as Ramadan Begins

Israeli police clashed with Muslim worshipers at the Al Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem on the first day of Ramadan, barring scores of people from entering and using batons to disperse the crowd, sparking tensions. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised to ease restrictions but the clash occurred despite this. The Abraham Initiatives condemned the police actions and called for freedom of worship for Muslims. Israeli police confirmed the clash but said it was an isolated incident and that thousands were allowed to enter the mosque without issue. Security will be increased at the mosque for Ramadan, with concerns of potential violence from Hamas supporters. Netanyahu vowed to continue the war effort in Gaza and minimize civilian casualties, while responding to President Biden's comments.

Violent clashes between Eritrean groups and police leave scores injured in Israel

Eritrean asylum seekers clashed with Israeli police in Tel Aviv during a protest against an Eritrean government event.

"High-Speed Chase: Israeli Police Investigate Fatal Incident in Shuafat"

"Ben Gvir's Policy: Armed Civilians Allowed to Keep Guns After Shooting Terrorists"

Israel's National Security Minister, Itamar Ben Gvir, has reportedly agreed with the police on a new policy that allows civilians who shoot terrorists during attacks to keep their weapons and avoid being interrogated. The aim is to encourage citizens to bear arms and use them when necessary, as part of efforts to increase the number of armed Israelis on the streets to combat terror attacks. The new guidelines will apply under specific conditions, including if the incident is a nationalistic terror attack, the shooter acted in self-defense, only the attacker was hit or killed, and the civilian stopped firing once the danger had passed. However, there are concerns that this policy change could lead to unjustified use of firearms.

Security Restrictions Limit Orthodox Easter Celebrations in Jerusalem

Israeli police limited attendance inside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem to 1,800 people for the traditional Holy Fire rite ahead of Orthodox Easter due to security concerns, while thousands of Palestinian worshippers and foreign pilgrims gathered outside. The ceremony sees a flame brought from the tomb and passed via candles among worshippers, marking the most important event in the Orthodox calendar. The restrictions have been criticized by many Palestinian Christians as proof of discrimination against them, while Israeli media reported tens of thousands of people turned out for a 15th consecutive week of protests against a controversial government judicial overhaul.

Orthodox Christian Holy Light celebrations in Jerusalem face police restrictions and attacks.

Thousands of Palestinian Christians and pilgrims celebrated the Orthodox Holy Light ceremony in Jerusalem's Old City under heavy Israeli police presence, limiting attendance to 1,800 people inside and 1,200 more outside. The Greek Orthodox Patriarch emerged from the sealed empty tomb with a lighted candle, an act considered an annual Holy Saturday miracle before Orthodox Easter Sunday. The churches protested the large police presence, which they see as part of long-standing efforts to push out the local Christian community. Israeli police set up checkpoints at the entrance to and across the walled Old City, leaving thousands unable to reach the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
