JERUSALEM, September 25, 2011 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation special police units Sunday arrested a child, 7, near the sit-in tent in al-Bustan, a neighborhood in Silwan, a town east of Jerusalem, during confrontations, according to witnesses.
Witnesses said Israeli forces raided Silwan and immediately started firing toxic and tear gas canisters, indiscriminately, at the residents’ homes, without any known reasons.
They added that there are violent confrontations in al-Bustan, a neighborhood in Silwan, south of al-Aqsa Mosque, which is spreading to surrounding areas.
Israeli forces ascended on rooftops and harassed the residents, witnesses said.
In a related matter, a group of extremist settlers expropriated the old city of Jerusalem with provocative marches toured a number of streets in Jerusalem, in direction of the Western Wall to celebrate the 'Day of Atonement', Jewish Yom Kippur – New Year.
The settlers were accompanied by Israeli forces and police reinforcement, while raising Israeli flags in the midst of wild and noisy dances, and provocative harassments against the Jerusalemites and their properties, witnesses said.
These groups try to hold consecutive marches around al-Aqsa mosque, in the midst of calls from extremist right-wing Jewish leaders to break into al-Aqsa mosque, in order to put the foundation stone for the alleged temple mount.Palestine News & Info Agency - WAFA
