JERUSLAEM (Ma'an) -- Five Palestinian teenagers from East Jerusalem were charged Monday with throwing rocks and Molotov cocktails at security forces, Israeli media reported.

The indictment at the Israeli Jerusalem District Court says the group named themselves Milad Ayyash after a Palestinian killed during clashes in their Jerusalem neighborhood Silwan in May 2011, Israeli daily Ynet reported.

They are accused of assaulting Israeli forces and the Beit Yonatan settlement in the heart of the Palestinian neighborhood, the report said.

All five were detained over the last month by Israeli intelligence and security forces, it added.
