At least 25 Palestinians were left injured Wednesday in violent clashes with the Israeli occupation forces in Jerusalem’s Salah al-Deen Street.
Paramedics said 25 protesters were treated for injuries sustained in the clashes. Five among the protesters were rushed to Maqasid Hospital for urgent treatment.
A group of anti-occupation youth sustained bruises and breathing disorders after the occupation forces showered the area with teargas and pepper spray.
The Israeli forces attacked the protesters after they raised the Palestinian flag and heavily beat them shortly before they pepper-sprayed them.
At the same time the head of Elia for Media institution Ahmed al-Safady was arrested by the occupation forces.
Cavalry troops also chased down Palestinian civilians and forced them out of the area discharging teargas grenades all the way through the assault.
