JERUSALEM — Rising tensions and sometimes violent protests around the nation on Sunday prompted Israeli police to go on heightened alert after the fatal shooting of an Arab-Israeli man, escalating fears that a new Palestinian uprising is in the offing.
Thousands of Palestinians took to the streets in east Jerusalem, where masked men and youths hurled stones at Israeli police. Clashes erupted in the A-Tur area on the Mount of Olives, with Palestinian residents clashing with Israeli border patrol forces.
