Today, Tuesday, the Bab al-Amud area in occupied Jerusalem witnessed repeated attacks on Palestinians at the site, and a number of them were arrested.
Scenes of attacks by the occupation soldiers against women and girls have been repeated, especially in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in occupied Jerusalem, where in recent days those soldiers attacked a number of Palestinian women and their solidarity with the people of the neighborhood by beating and dragging the people several times and in front of the cameras.
The violence of the occupation soldiers increased during the past days against the Palestinians, with several demonstrations igniting denouncing the occupation and its arbitrary practices against the people of Sheikh Jarrah, and its aggression on the Gaza Strip, which has been subjected to brutal bombing that has continued for more than a week, which led to the rise of 212 martyrs, hundreds of wounded and thousands of displaced people from their homes.
