Extremist Jewish settlers and groups have incited against Jerusalemite citizens and called for storming the holy city today and attacking them with different weapons and combat tools.
According to a video recording circulated on Hebrew media outlets and social media pages Jewish settlers claimed that they are afraid of walking in the holy city streets nowadays because of the daily events that happen between Palestinians and police forces.
They also claimed in the recording that the Palestinians turned Jerusalem into a confrontation zone in recent days and called for deterring them with the help of police forces.
The recording incited the settlers to gather in Safra junction before going to Bab al-Amud area of the Old City of Jerusalem to assault the Palestinians who stay there and expel them from the area.
A Jewish far-right group called Lehava for its part announced its intent to organize a rally of settlers in the Old City of Jerusalem to defend what they called “Jewish honor.”
In a related context Haaretz newspaper said that Jewish extremists patrolled streets in the holy city in recent days and attacked Palestinian passersby physically and verbally.
Meanwhile Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper said that a group of armed Jewish settlers announced their intent to storm different areas of the holy city including Safra square and Jaffa street on Thursday evening and attack Palestinians using weapons and combat gear.
Last night clashes took place between local youths and hordes of police forces and settlers in the holy city.
Two local young men were slightly injured and six others were taken prisoners during the events.
Since the first day of the holy month of Ramadan Israeli police forces have embarked on harassing and assaulting Muslim worshipers especially youths during their presence peacefully in open areas and streets near and around the Mosque.
Most of the police assaults and provocations happen after Muslim worshipers leave the Aqsa Mosque following the night-time Tarawih prayers.
