Israel’s Internal Security Minister Gilad Erdan announced his intent to tighten military grip on Jerusalem’s Old City so as to quell projected anti-occupation attacks.
According to a Saturday report by Israel’s Channel 10 a plan forwarded by Erdan aims to tighten the noose around Palestinians’ neck in Bab al-Amoud and the Old City in Occupied Jerusalem by multiplying checkpoints across the area.
Israeli border police troops will reportedly be deployed around the Old City and Bab al-Amoud and 40 smart security cameras will be installed across the area to keep tabs on Palestinians’ movement.
The measures are slated to be put into operation by next month.
