Malik, who was shot in the face by Israeli police in the tense east Jerusalem Palestinian neighborhood of Issawiya, will not regain vision in his left eye despite surgery. For the last nine months, Israeli police have raided Issawiya nearly every day. They've searched houses, issued fines and detained youths as young as 10 on suspicion of stone-throwing. The operations frequently ignite clashes, with local youths throwing rocks and firebombs, which police say justifies their heightened presence. (AP Photo/Mahmoud Illean, File)
