At 2:00p.m on Friday, 16 February 2018,  Israeli forces located near the southeastern borders of Burij refugee camp opened fire and launched tear gas canisters at tens of protesters who joined a demonstration in the east of the Burij. The demonstration was held as part of the “Capital Intifada” in protest of the latest U.S. recognition to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Palestinian protesters set tires on fire and threw stones at Israeli forces, which responded with fire and tear-gas. Three civilians, including a child, were injured: Ahmed Mohamed Abed Rabbo Abu Helou,18-year old resident of Burij who was seriously injured in the head and is staying in the intensive care unit in Shuhada Al Aqsa Hospital in Deir Al Balah; Abdul Rahman Sharif Mohammed Al-Kharobi, 17-year old resident of Burij who was moderately injured in the right leg, and Mahdi Ziad Salim Abu Taleb, 23-year old resident of Al Nuseirat who was lightly injured by gas canisters in the chest. Palestinian Red Crescent ambulances took the three injuries to Shuhada Al Aqsa Hospital in Deir Al Balah. Clashes continued until 6:30p.m on the same day.
