Description
ERUSALEM (Ma'an) -- Undercover Israeli forces on Wednesday shot a Palestinian man and detained three others in a raid on Issawiya in East Jerusalem.

The forces raided a wedding party in the village, and local young men pelted them with stones, a Ma'an reporter said.

Officers fired into the air, injuring 20-year-old Ibrahim Juweid in the abdomen. He was taken to Hadassah Hospital.

The Israeli forces also detained three young men.

Issawiya is the hometown of Samer Issawi, who ended a 266-day hunger strike on Tuesday after Israel agreed to release him in eight months.

Israeli forces have repeatedly raided the neighborhood amid frequent protests over Issawi's detention, dismantling a solidarity tent in the town over 30 times.
