Jerusalem. 8th September, 2014. A Palestinian youth holds a huge Palestinian flag as clashes ensued in a Palestinian suburb of Jerusalem, in Wadi Al-Joz. A funeral was held for sixteen-year-old Muhammad Abd al-Majid Sunuqrut, a Palestinian teenager who had been shot a week ago by Israeli forces. Muhammad was shot, allegedly, in the head by a rubber coated steel bullet by Israeli forces in his village in Eastern Jerusalem, in Al Wadi Joz. Israeli forces claimed they shot the teenager in the leg. Riots began on Sunday, after Palestinians learned he had died early that morning.

They continued on Monday morning and into the afternoon after the scheduled autopsy of his body had delayed the funeral.
