Israeli Palestinians Protest to Remove Increased Surveillance Mechanisms in East Jerusalem, 2017
On 14 July 2017, three Israeli Palestinians from Umm al-Fahm killed two Israeli police officers in the sacred Temple Mount complex in East Jerusalem. Other surrounding officers immediately responded by fatally shooting the three Israeli Palestinian gunmen. After this incident, the Israeli government increased its security presence in the Old City. Israeli Palestinians protested for two weeks, and the Israeli government withdrew the extra security measures.
