An Israeli security man guarding a Jewish house in eastern Jerusalem was stabbed by a Palestinian during an argument over an archaeological dig that has been going on for several years.

Earlier this week, clashes erupted in Silwan after a Jewish group known as Elad took over buildings in the predominantly Arab neighborhood.
