Israel closes Jerusalem streets ahead of Judaization marathon

Friday 17-March-2023

The Israeli municipal authorities closed on Friday several streets in Occupied Jerusalem restricting Palestinian movement.

The Israeli restrictions came in preparation for the annual Jerusalem marathon held today in Occupied Jerusalem.

The Israeli measures came as thousands of Palestinians head to al-Aqsa Mosque to perform Friday prayers further tightening restrictions on their access to the holy site.

Jewish participants are expected to run near Palestinian neighborhoods while raising Israeli flags in total provocation to local residents.

The Jerusalem marathon came as part of the Israeli municipality’s attempts to promote the occupied city of Jerusalem as a Jewish city as part of its Judaization policies.
