Dozens of Israeli settlers on Saturday stormed the market of the Old City of al-Khalil and harassed Palestinian citizens.
Escorted by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) the settlers carried out provocative tours in the market and disrupted the movement of Palestinian citizens in the Old City’s streets.
Meanwhile the IOF stopped the Islamic Awqaf employee Islam Zahdeh while he was heading to his work arrested him and transferred him to an unknown destination.
Islamic Awqaf employees and other Palestinians working for Palestinian institutions in the Old City are constantly harassed by Israeli settlers and soldiers. These attacks come within the framework of an Israeli plan to pressure Palestinian citizens to leave the area.
