JERUSALEM, Wednesday, May 19, 2021 (WAFA) – Israeli forces Wednesday overnight a car repair shop during confrontations near Az-Za'ayyem village, east of Jerusalem, setting it ablaze, according to an official.

Mayor of Az-Za'ayyem, Mohammad Abu Zeyad, said that Israeli troops fired a barrage of tear gas and concussion bombs at the car repair shop belonging to Ayman Yaghmur during renewed confrontations with the villagers, setting fire to hundreds of vehicles parked for maintenance and causing substantial material losses.
