OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- In a provocative step, a group of extremist Jewish settlers on Friday performed religious rituals near Bab al-Qattanin gate, one of the Aqsa Mosque gates.

Local sources said that dozens of the men and women gathered under heavy protection by the Israeli occupation police and carried out their activity.

Palestinian residents of Jerusalem said that what the settlers have done is part of a series of provocative acts carried out by extremist Jews and is part of the occupation authorities efforts to Judaize the holy city.

They added: “We will remain steadfast in our Jerusalem, we will not move out and will remain faithful to Jerusalem and holy places.”


Settler stabbed in Jerusalem

OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- A settler was stabbed with a knife in Ramout neighbourhood in east Jerusalem by a Palestinian who fled the scene, according to Israel occupation police.
Yediot Ahranot quoted occupation police on Saturday that the settler was transported to Shaar Tzidik medical centre for treatment, adding that police were investigating the incident.

This attack comes at a time when Israeli occupation is escalating measures against the Palestinian residents of occupied Jerusalem in terms of home demolitions, land confiscation and withdrawal of residential rights.

Settler attacks against Palestinians in the West Bank have also been on the increase, especially that settlers know they can carry out their attacks against Palestinians with impunity.
