The Israeli occupation forces on Sunday evening attacked Jerusalemite citizens rallying in solidarity with the residents of Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood — who are threatened with displacement — and arrested some of them.
A child identified as 13-year-old Mohamed al-Sabah was among the citizens who were arrested when police forces quelled the sit-in they organized in the neighborhood.
Dozens of Jerusalemite citizens and activists participated in the sit-in and chanted slogans against the Israeli occupation and the intended mass displacement of local families from their homes.
In a related incident an extremist Jewish settler was injured during the clashes that happened between local youths and police forces in Sheikh Jarrah.
Several Jerusalemite families with their children are facing displacement threats after Jewish groups recently extracted an Israeli court verdict giving them the green light to take over homes in Sheikh Jarrah.
