Jerusalem (CNN) -- Palestinian youths and Israeli border police clashed Friday in a third day of violence sparked after a security guard shot and killed a Palestinian man in an East Jerusalem neighborhood.
As they did Wednesday and Thursday, the Palestinian youths hurled rocks while border police fired tear gas, stun grenades and rubber bullets in an effort to quell the demonstrations, according to CNN journalists who witnessed the violence.
In the Issawiya neighborhood, a man said that his 14-month-old nephew died Friday after inhaling tear gas. Ahman Abu Sara said family members, unable to reach a nearby hospital because of the clashes, took the boy to a clinic where he was treated and released. Three hours later, Abu Sara said, the boy's mother found him dead.
A police commander in the field would not comment, and CNN was unable to get into the area to obtain information from the clinic because of the clashes.
The clashes began Wednesday when a security guard shot and killed a man in East Jerusalem's Silwan neighborhood. The guard and a cousin of the victim told different stories, however.
