The 32-year-old photographer, Muad Amarna, who lives in the Dheisheh refugee camp, said he had been was standing at a distance from a group of young people who were throwing stones at the police at the time because he didn’t want to put himself in the line of fire. Police said he was not targeted and may have been too close to the clash, which it said involved dozens of rioters.
