The Israeli occupation forces arrested 4 Palestinian youths and assaulted several others in Bab Al-Amoud in the center of occupied Al-Quds.
On Thursday, eyewitnesses said the occupation forces arrested two Palestinian youths in Bab Al-Amoud after assaulting them.
Witnesses stated that the occupation forces assaulted a number of other citizens and street vendors in Damascus Gate, severely beating them with batons. They also arrested two other Palestinians in Al-Qibli prayer hall inside Al-Aqsa Mosque, shortly before the tension began at Damascus Gate.
