According to the initial information available to Wadi Hilweh Information Center, the forces arrested one young man who is yet to be identified. Also, the reason behind the chase was unknown. The locals of the neighborhoods of Al-Bustan, Ein Al-Lozeh and Bi’er Ayoub explained that they heard gun shots.

Wadi Hilweh Information Center was informed that the forces closed the street near the cemetery which leads to the neighborhoods of Aweis and Abu Madi and where hundreds of Jerusalemites live.
