In Lod, a city that is home to both Jews and Arabs and that has seen some of the worst fighting this week, police said they shot and wounded a person trying to throw a firebomb towards a municipal building, injuring him lightly. Police said officers used a 22-caliber Ruger sniper rifle, which is considered less lethal than standard issue rifles and is sometimes used for riot control.
In East Jerusalem, hundreds of rioters clashed with Border Police officers in the neighborhoods of A-Tor, Silwan, Sheikh Jarrah, Shuafat, and Beit Hanina among others, throwing rocks, firebombs, and firecrackers at the Israeli forces. In one incident, a police car was torched but no injuries were reported.
