Hebrew media sources on Saturday revealed further details about the Israeli decision to launch a special police unit in Occupied Jerusalem following the tension that broke out recently at al-Aqsa Mosque.
They added that the plan also includes establishing 15 police centers and recruiting hundreds of new officers to work in the city.
Speaking at a ceremony honoring Israeli officers last week Gilad Erdan Israel’s Public Security Minister announced that the job of this special unit which will include more than 100 policemen is to maintain “public order” at al-Aqsa Mosque.
The formation of this unit which will be equipped with advanced technology and intelligence capacities will double the number of Israeli policemen in Jerusalem the Hebrew sources noted.
This increase in the Israeli police staff in Jerusalem is the highest since the occupation of the city.
