33 civilians were injured today, Tuesday, after the occupation forces assaulted them while they were trying to confront the provocative flags march carried out by settlers in Bab Al-Amud in Jerusalem, during which a number of citizens were arrested and assaulted.
The settlers headed this evening, Tuesday, to the Al-Buraq Wall plaza, starting from Bab Al-Amoud Square in Jerusalem, which they stormed under the protection of the Israeli occupation forces, although it was not part of the plan of the agreement with the Israeli police.
When the settlers left Bab al-Amoud Square, heading to the Al-Buraq Wall Square, they cursed the Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, and spat on the ground.
The march of the provocative settler flags reached Bab al-Amud amid strict security measures by the occupation police, and the occupation police allowed the settlers to go to Bab al-Amud square.
According to the Hebrew newspaper, Haaretz, the settlers went to Bab al-Amoud Square to perform the flags dance and chanted “Death to the Arabs,” while the Hebrew “Channel 20” reported that the settlers chanted “Death to Muhammad Deif,” the commander-in-chief of the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military arm of Hamas.
Amid shouts of “Death to Arabs” and calls for the burning of Palestinian villages, far-right MK Itamar Ben Gvir arrived at Bab al-Amoud square.
Hundreds of settlers, carrying Israeli flags, gathered on Prophets Street in Jerusalem, accompanied by a number of Likud members, and then proceeded with a march to Bab al-Amud.
On the other hand, Jews opposed to the occupation raised the Palestinian flag and demonstrated in Jerusalem against the march of Israeli flags.
Before the march reached Bab al-Amud, a number of Arab members of the Knesset, including Ahmed Tibi, Ayman Odeh and members of the Joint Arab List, arrived at Bab al-Amud. We are here to stop the march and stop the evacuation of Sheikh Jarrah and Silwan.
Prior to the flags march, the occupation forces suppressed Jerusalemites in several areas in Old Jerusalem, where the Red Crescent in Jerusalem reported that its crews dealt with 33 injuries during confrontations with the occupation forces in the vicinity of the Old City in Jerusalem, and the injuries were rubber, beatings and sound bombs, and 6 injuries were transferred from them. He was taken to the hospital, and that one of the injuries was a heart attack, and he was taken to the hospital very urgently, while the Red Crescent indicated that its crews were prevented from transferring a live bullet wound and were arrested.
Meanwhile, the occupation forces arrested a Palestinian young man from Bab al-Amud Square after he arrived at the place despite the strict security measures and tried to attack settlers, while a soldier of the occupation cavalry division fell during the confrontations in the vicinity of Bab al-Amud, as well as smashed a bus of settlers on Salah al-Din Street in occupied Jerusalem.
On the other hand, the occupation forces prevented dozens of buses from entering the city of Jerusalem.
