Rioters threw stones and Molotov cocktails at security forces in the Issawiya neighborhood of east Jerusalem on Monday night, Israeli Police announced. 

The rioters also reportedly set fire to a number of trash cans in the area.

Response to the riots

Security forces fired warning shots at the rioters.

A 15-year-old boy was arrested while holding a Palestinian Islamic Jihad flag and Molotov cocktails.

The riots came after Israel released a number of Palestinian security prisoners as part of an exchange to free the last remaining living hostages that were being held by Hamas in Gaza.
