An IDF spokesman commented on claims that a Palestinian Arab photographer was injured by IDF fire during the demolition of the house of a terrorist who carried out the explosives attack in Jerusalem.

"From a preliminary investigation, it appears that a Palestinian press photographer who was in the area of violent rioting against soldiers was injured, apparently by a rubber bullet. The circumstances of the case are under investigation. The IDF will make very effort to avoid harming civilians, and is extremely careful about freedom of movement and the press," said the spokesman.
