The evacuation of Bab al-Amud and a security alert in Jerusalem..a day of anger in Palestine, and the resistance factions vow to respond to the "flags march"

The Israeli occupation forces evacuated dozens of Palestinian youths who had gathered in Bab al-Amoud Square in occupied Jerusalem, in preparation for the launch of what is known as the flags march, amid the resistance factions vowing to respond.

Al-Jazeera correspondent Shireen Abu Aqleh reported that the occupation forces beat a number of the young man, and the occupation police set up iron barriers to prevent Palestinians from entering and leaving the area.

And the occupation police announced the arrest of 6 Palestinian youths in occupied Jerusalem, on charges of disturbing order.

The Minister of Internal Security in the new government approved the organization of the march that will go to the Bab al-Amoud area, which will be closed to Palestinians.

Al-Jazeera correspondent in Jerusalem reported that 20 settlers, including the far-right Yehuda Glick, stormed this morning, Tuesday, the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque.

In the Gaza Strip, Al-Jazeera correspondent Wael al-Dahdouh said that there are calls for mass rallies in the Strip, against the "flags march", noting that all the factions gather in one row.

Today, Palestinian youths launched incendiary balloons, from the border strip, east of the Gaza Strip, towards the adjacent Israeli areas.

Earlier, a Palestinian youth was wounded, today, Tuesday, by Israeli army bullets, near the separating security fence, in the southern Gaza Strip.

Faction warning

For its part, Palestinian factions called for stationing in the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque and the general alarm in all Palestinian areas and within the Green Line.

Palestinian factions, which described the march as a provocation, called for a "day of rage" in Gaza and the West Bank.

The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) warned of renewed hostilities if the march went ahead.

Palestinian activists sent calls on social networks to gather in Bab al-Amud in conjunction with the provocative march.

Serious repercussions

Palestinian Prime Minister Muhammad Shtayyeh said on Twitter, "We warn of the dangerous repercussions that may result from the occupying power's intention to allow extremist Israeli settlers to proceed with the flags march in occupied Jerusalem."

"Tensions are escalating again in Jerusalem in a very fragile and sensitive security and political situation, at a time when the United Nations and Egypt are participating in consolidating the ceasefire," the United Nations envoy to the Middle East, Tor Wencesland, wrote on Twitter.

"I urge all concerned parties to act responsibly and avoid any provocation that could lead to another round of confrontations," he added.

On the other hand, the Israeli Broadcasting Corporation said that the Israeli army will increase the deployment of Iron Dome batteries, for fear of renewed rocket fire from the Gaza Strip against the background of the march.

The Israeli police rejected earlier this month a request by Israeli right-wing organizations to organize the march last Thursday, but under pressure from former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, it was approved to organize on Tuesday.

The march was scheduled to be organized last month on the occasion of the anniversary of the occupation of East Jerusalem, according to the Hebrew calendar, but it was postponed due to the aggression on Gaza.
