The IOF arrested two young men and a photographer working for Wadi Helwa information center was wounded with shrapnel from a stun grenade.

Wadi Helwa information center said that the clashes broke out after a demonstration that started at Bab al-Amoud towards the Nablus Road, where the demonstrators were surrounded by IOF troops who prevented them from marching further. The protesters used waste containers to block the road.

IOF troops using stun grenades and water cannons, as well as horse mounted police dispersed the protesters.
