Molotov cocktails were thrown toward Border Police forces in the east Jerusalem neighborhood of Issawiya, Palestinian media reported on Wednesday night.
Videos shared on social media show the incendiary weapon hurled toward the Israeli officers, who appeared to escape unharmed.
Palestinian rioters also reportedly opened fire at Israeli forces near the Shuafat refugee camp in east Jerusalem.
Elsewhere, clashes were reported to have broken out near the Palestinian West Bank village of 'Anin. According to Israeli media, rioters fired toward IDF forces operating in the area.
The clashes came the night of a controversy-ridden day in the West Bank due to the killing of veteran Al-Jazeera correspondent Shireen Abu Aklehduring an Israeli operation in Jenin.
51-year-old dual American-Palestinian Abu Akleh, from Beit Hanina, was struck by a bullet to the head while covering an IDF raid in the West Bank city.
Clashes in the city began after IDF, Shin Bet and Border Police forces carried out arrest operations, including in the Jenin refugee camp, near the town of Burkin, and in a number of other locations across the West Bank.
Despite Palestinians and Palestinian supporters blaming Israel for the journalist's death, an initial investigation by Israeli and Palestinian officials could not yet determine who is responsible for Abu Akleh's death.
