press, two al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades militants (both East 
Jerusalem residents) shot at Israeli Border Police and 
contract security guards near the Shaykh Sa'ad checkpoint in 
Jerusalem o/a 2020 May 26.  Nearby Border Police guards 
returned fire and killed both militants.  One Border 
policeman and one Israeli contract guard were injured.  A 
Palestinian bystander near the checkpoint was also killed in

southeast edge of the 1967 expanded Municipal boundaries, is 
divided into Jerusalem and West Bank sections by the 
separation barrier, with a small checkpoint allowing foot 
travel (not vehicles) for Jerusalem ID card holders and those 
with special permits to cross between sections.  End Note.
