Israeli police injured 90 Palestinians on Saturday night, May 8,
outside the Damascus Gate of the Old City of Jerusalem, 16 of whom were
hospitalized, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent, after
protesters hurled bottles and rocks at occupation forces and the police
responded with stun grenades and water cannon.
Arab-Palestinians protested throughout the country on Saturday over the far-right government’s actions in Jerusalem, including its handling of violent clashes at the Al-Aqsa mosque compound on Friday and the pending eviction of dozens of Palestinians from the occupied East Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah.
