This Monday, Feb. 24 2020 photo, shows a general view of the Palestinian neighborhood of Issawiya in East Jerusalem. 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, which police say justifies their heightened presence. 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)
