STORYLINE
The Jerusalem uprising, as it has been dubbed (in Arabic intifadat al-Quds), raged last night in occupied Jerusalem for the 11th night in a row in protest against Israeli police and settlers’ provocations and assaults on the city’s Palestinian residents, and expanded to reach the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
The Palestinian Red Crescent said it treated 20 people injured in the clashes with police in and around the old city of Jerusalem, four of them were transferred to hospitals in the city while the rest were treated at the location.
Meanwhile in the Gaza Strip, three people were injured from Israeli army gunfire as people gathered at the northern border fence with Israel to protest the Israeli actions in occupied East Jerusalem.
Then on that first night, and every night after, police harassed Jerusalem residents leaving Al-Aqsa Mosque, a main worship destination for devout Muslims during the month of Ramadan, following the night prayers and who usually gather at Jerusalem’s old city Damascus Gate plaza to celebrate Ramadan nights.
But this did not deter the Palestinians from continuing to gather at Damascus Gate after each night prayer since the start of Ramadan on April 13 when some 70,000 people take part in the worship every night, and police continued to attack the people and close the area with metal barricades in an effort to prevent people from hanging around Damascus Gate, one of the main gates to the old city of Jerusalem.
