<p style="font-size:10pt;">OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)&#8211; The  Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Saturday closed the military  checkpoint of Shu&#8217;fat in occupied Jerusalem after a long night of  clashes and detentions.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Local sources reported that school  students and citizens from Shu&#8217;fat refugee camp, Ras Khamis suburb, and  Ras Shehadeh neighborhood, Assalam suburb and Anata town in central  Jerusalem were not able today to attend their schools and workplaces  after the IOF closed the main checkpoint completely.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Israeli soldiers claimed the police  obtained a court decision ordering the closure of this checkpoint after  its cadres were hurled with stones by local young men.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The violent clashes for the third  consecutive day continued on Friday night between Palestinian citizens  and Israeli troops. The clashes reportedly broke out after the IOF  tightened movement procedures at Shu&#8217;fat checkpoint and attacked school  boys and girls.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Seven Palestinians reportedly were shot with rubber bullets by Israeli troops during the events.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Citizens from the camp said that the  Israeli occupation authority tends not to open the checkpoint once again  and isolate the Palestinian residents there from their holy city.</p>
