Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Palestine reported on Friday that Israeli Occupation Forces assaulted the residents of the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood after Friday prayers, adding that "occupation forces are firing rubber bullets on Palestinians in Jabal Sbeih in Beita."

Palestinian media also said that "occupation forces are oppressing families showing support with the Salem family, who are facing forced displacement from Sheikh Jarrah."
