FILE - In this June 28, 2019 file photo, Palestinians burn an Israeli flag during clashes with Israeli police in East Jerusalem's Palestinian neighborhood of Issawiya, a day after a Palestinian was shot and killed by police during a protest in the same neighborhood. Nearly every day for the last nine months Israeli police have stormed into Issawiya in a campaign they say is needed to maintain law and order. Rights groups say that in addition to searching houses and issuing fines, they have detained hundreds of people — some as young as 10, on suspicion of stone-throwing. The operations frequently ignite clashes, with local youths throwing rocks and firebombs. Residents and human rights groups say the provocative raids have created an atmosphere of terror, with parents afraid to let their children play outside. (AP Photo/Mahmoud Illean)
