On May 7, as tensions mounted in Jerusalem, a Palestinian photojournalist at Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, in the Old City, trained his video camera on an Israeli police officer. The police had begun their incursions into the site as protests against evictions of Palestinians in East Jerusalem were growing. The Palestinian journalist at Al-Aqsa filmed as the police officer yelled a threat “One more time and I’ll break your cameras get out!” then lunged, causing the journalist to drop their camera.
