In the attack, three Israeli settlers were injured, according to Israeli media, after stones were thrown at their vehicle near Damascus Gate.
Meanwhile, Wadi Hilweh Information Center reported that Israeli settlers conducted provocative tours in the area to observe the annual memory of the so-called "the Temple's Destruction".
In videos on social media, Israeli occupation forces could be seen violently dispersing and detaining Palestinians at Damascus Gate in an attempt to guard Israeli settlers. In one video, Israeli occupation forces brutally dragged a young Palestinian man, beating him with batons. The clubbing left the young man bloody and seriously injured.
