Day 29: Al-Aqsa Flood Operation in the city of Jerusalem
On the 29th day of “Al-Aqsa Flood Operation”, the occupation authorities continued their tight siege of Al-Aqsa Mosque, and their deployment at the gates of the Old City and in its streets.
The Wadi Hilweh Information Center - Jerusalem explained that the forces, since the seventh of last October, have imposed a strict siege on Al-Aqsa Mosque, preventing entry to it except for elderly women and men, and in many cases stipulating that the residential address be “the Old City”. Over the past weeks, there have been several cases of bans on elderly people over 70 years of age.
The forces continue to deploy at all gates of Al-Aqsa Mosque and the roads leading to it.
The center added that the forces continue their deployment and presence at the gates of the Old City and the surrounding streets. The forces arrest young men, examine their identities, subject them to physical searches, impose restrictions on their entry into the Old City, and prevent sitting in Damascus Gate Square.
On Saturday afternoon, special forces were stationed in the middle of Salah al-Din Street in Jerusalem, coinciding with calls for a protest in support of the Gaza Strip.
The forces stopped the vehicles, checked the youths’ identities, and prevented the residents from sitting in the place for more than two hours.
The forces stormed Al-Tur at noon, fired grenades randomly, and forces were also stationed in the village of Issawiya.
The forces arrested the boy Amer Abu Sbitan from the town of Al-Tur, as explained by the lawyer of the Wadi Hilweh Information Center, Siraj Abu Arafeh.
