Ramadan prayers end in Kalandiya riots

[Phx_Dem]

Some 100 young Palestinians rioted at the Kalandiya checkpoint, north of Jerusalem, on Friday, shortly after the first communal prayers of Ramadan.

The Palestinians hurled stones at IDF troops and border policemen deployed in area, prompting the security forces to take crowd control measures. No casualties were reported.

Simultaneously, there were two disturbances near the security fence, near Ramallah. Some 150 Palestinians gathered for the routine anti-fence protest in Ni'lin, in which, as usual, security forces were pelted with stones, and a similar but smaller demonstration was held in Bi'lin.
