Several Palestinians were injured on Monday evening in clashes with the Israeli occupation forces in Occupied Jerusalem.
According to the Palestinian Red Crescent 11 Palestinians were shot and injured with rubber bullets and 23 choked on teargas during the clashes that flared up in Jerusalem’s southeastern towns of Alezariye and Abu Dis.
Eyewitnesses said the Israeli forces stormed Alezariye and Abu Dis and attacked the Palestinian protesters with randomly-discharged spates of rubber bullets and teargas canisters.
Tension has been running high across the occupied territories as Palestinians took to the streets to mark the Prisoners Day and to express solidarity with 1500 detainees who started on open-ended hunger strike in Israeli jails as of Monday morning.
