RAMALLAH, April 3, 2016 (WAFA) – The three major Palestinian dailies focused on Israeli police’s shooting and injury of a Palestinian child in Jerusalem.

They said Israeli policemen Saturday shot and injured with rubber-coated bullets Hatem Abu Mayala, 13, in his head while going to school in Jerusalem, before he was beaten up and detained by the police.

On a different subject, al-Ayyam and al-Hayat al-Jadida said the Israeli navy opened fire at a Palestinian fishing boat offshore Gaza, causing it to sink. There were no reports of casualties among fishermen, who managed to swim to the shore.

Al-Hayat Al-Jadida quoted President Mahmoud Abbas as saying: “There are those who do not want peace, and are fueling war here and there.”

Al-Hayat al-Jadida and al-Quds said that US State Department criticized Israel’s policy of demolishing the homes of Palestinians in the West Bank and Jerusalem, and expressed it concerns over Israel’s commitment to the two-state solution.

Al-Quds reported that Jenin refugee camp’s people commemorated the Israeli massacre and the “April Battle” of 2002.

Al-Quds and Al-Ayyam reported that Jordanian government started to install 55 cameras in Al-Aqsa Mosque compound to document the violations of Israeli settlers.

Al-Quds said that the Guardian published an article titled, “Silencing Arab members of the Knesset would be a new low for Israeli democracy.”

Al-Hayat Al-Jadida reported that Paris mayor had confirmed her country’s attitudes against Israeli settlement activities, in a new message that was sent to Secretary General of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) Saeb Erekat.
