Police Spokeswoman (Jerusalem): In the last hour, riots have continued in the Salah a-Din area near the Old City of Jerusalem, including in the cemetery itself.

Hundreds of lawbreakers and rioters throw stones, rods and objects, shoot fireworks and try to harm police forces on the spot.

A number of policemen were lightly injured as a result of the stone-throwing, and the forces responded by dispersing the riots and working to repel the riots and disperse them.

We will continue to act resolutely and with a heavy hand against those lawbreakers and violators who have turned a companion into a show of unbridled violence.
