A set of tough restrictions are expected to be slapped by the Israeli police across Occupied Jerusalem on the occasion of the Jewish Passover marked next week.
According to Sunday reports by Hebrew-speaking news outlets the Israeli police have been discussing ways to intensify military presence across Occupied Jerusalem following the upsurge in anti-occupation attacks carried out by Palestinian protesters the latest of which occurred on Saturday in Bab al-Amoud in the Old City. 17-year-old Ahmad Ghazal from Nablus was fatally shot by the Israeli forces following the attack.
The Israeli police chief in Occupied Jerusalem Yoram Levi expressed fears of an anticipated escalation in anti-occupation attacks on the eve of the Jewish Passover holiday.
Passover is a spring festival marked annually by the Jewish community to celebrate their liberation by God from slavery in Egypt. The occasion often culminates in a series of sacrilegious rituals and break-ins at and around holy al-Aqsa Mosque—the third holiest site in Islam.
