The Israeli occupation authority (IOA) on Tuesday set up more structural towers for holding security cameras in Bab al-Amud area (Damascus Gate) the main entrance to the Old City of Jerusalem.
According to WAFA news agency these structures will be used to install more security cameras in the area where there are already several of them.
The Israeli police intensified their security procedures ahead of the Jewish new year’s celebrations to be observed by settlers as of Wednesday evening.
Meanwhile police forces escorting a municipal crew stormed a commercial store in Beit Safafa town south of Jerusalem and carried out arrests among its employees.
Eyewitnesses said that soldiers physically assaulted the store’s employees before arresting them at the pretext that they had no permits for their stay in the holy city.
