The occupation soldiers arrested a Palestinian woman, this afternoon, Saturday, in the Bab Al-Amoud area in front of one of the gates of the Old City in occupied East Jerusalem, for allegedly trying to carry out a stabbing operation.
Ma'an News Agency reported that the Israeli occupation forces arrested the woman after beating her.
Eyewitnesses said that Israeli police beat the Palestinian woman and threw her to the ground before arresting her and transferring her to an investigation center.
The Israeli occupation police claimed, in a statement, that the Palestinian woman, whose name was not revealed, tried to stab a police officer before arresting her.
She added that an Israeli policeman was lightly wounded in the head while he was moving to arrest the Palestinian woman.
While eyewitnesses said, the Israeli occupation police closed the Bab Al-Amoud area in front of the Palestinian citizens movement for a period of time immediately after the accident.
It is noteworthy that the Israeli police have deployed heavily for years in the area of Bab Al-Amoud, where they stop Palestinians and subject them to provocative searches.
