We see it.
We report with just one agenda: the truth.
The demonstrations began after Palestinians who gathered at the Damascus Gate of the Old City of Jerusalem for a rally in support of the day’s general strike began clashing with Israel Police forces. Protesters threw rocks and firecrackers at the police officers, the Jerusalem Post reported. At least 8 Palestinians were arrested near the Damascus Gate, accused of attacking police officers.
Police brought water cannons to Sheikh Jarrah in an attempt to control the protesters.
