Israeli police detained eight young men in occupied East Jerusalem on Thursday after clashes erupted in protest of a decision by the Israeli supreme court to solidify a West Bank checkpoint. Israeli border guards clashed with Palestinians in the Shofat refugee camp, said Luba al-Sumari, a spokeswoman for the Israeli police. She said the Palestinians threw fireworks and rocks at the guards. The clash was the result of a supreme court decision on Qalandiya, al-Sumari said. The decision will create a more permanent pedestrian crossing at the key terminal between Jerusalem and Ramallah.
