Israeli soldiers clash with Palestinian protestors in East Jerusalem (al-Quds) as tensions reach a breaking point in the occupied neighborhood where Israel has reopened a synagogue.
Thousands of angry Palestinians took to streets in East al-Quds and several other neighborhoods on Tuesday upon a call by Hamas leaders in the Gaza Strip who announced a "day of rage."
The call came in response to Israel's restoration of the Hurva synagogue a few hundred meters from the al-Aqsa Mosque — Muslims' third holiest site.
Israeli forces fired rubber bullets and stun grenades to disperse protesters in the Shuafat refugee camp.
The protesters responded by hurling rocks at security forces and burning tires.
Similar clashes erupted in other parts of al-Quds despite tightened security and deployment of some 3,000 Israeli security forces across the city.
There have been no reports of casualties so far while the clashes are expected to flare later in the day.
Israel's announcement last week of plans to build 1,600 new settler homes in al-Quds sparked furor among Palestinians.
The re-opening of a synagogue in the city on Monday has further fuelled tensions and raised speculations of a third intifada.
