Pictures: A sit-in against Trump’s decision…suppression…arrests…and seizing posters of the Palestinian flag
On Saturday, the Israeli occupation forces suppressed a sit-in at Salah Al-Din Street in Jerusalem using sound grenades and beating in an attempt to silence the Jerusalemite voice that rejects Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
The occupation forces arrested the secretary of Fatah movement in the village of Esawyeh, Yasser Darwish, after he was injured by a rubber bullet. The cameras documented one of the soldiers directly shooting him from a close distance.
The Red Crescent reported that three Jerusalemites were wounded by sound grenades in Salah Al-Din Street.
Paramedic Areen Za’aneen was also injured by a sound grenade while delivering first aid to one of the injured.
Among the wounded was Mohammed Dkeidek, who was wounded with shrapnel in the head.
Wadi Hilweh Information Center explained that the occupation forces surrounded the sit-in from the beginning and photographed the participants with mobile phones.
The center added that the forces confiscated the posters of the Palestinian flag reading "Jerusalem is the eternal capital of Palestine", in addition to tearing the same posters that were hung on the doors of shops and walls in Salah Al-Din Street.
The center added that the forces beat the participants while chanting slogans of Jerusalem and pushed them to evacuate the sit-in, and then fired sound bombs at them and followed some of them towards the Al-Zahra Street and St. George Street in the city.
