A tense calm descended upon the capital Friday evening after a day of heavy rioting and emotionally charged demonstrations, as an Arab teenager allegedly murdered by Jews was laid to rest in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Shuafat.
Sporadic rock-throwing incidents were still taking place from time to time in the hours after the funeral, with police using tear gas to disperse the violent demonstrations.
Around 35 Palestinians and 13 police officers were said to have been lightly wounded during the day’s events.
