For long, Sheikh Jarrah has been a pressure point that the Israeli occupation has been capitalizing on as a weapon. The occupation has aimed to steal and destroy homes there, looking for forced eviction of Palestinians from their homes, which they have been living in for generations.
Today, Sunday, Israeli settlers attacked Palestinians and their homes in Sheikh Jarrah Neighborhood, in parallel with "Israel's" storming of Al-Quds today and the provocative "Flag March".
Amin Burqan, a resident of the neighborhood, said the occupation forces stormed the refugee camp in the neighborhood as Israeli settlers smashed citizens' vehicles, stormed homes, threw stones, and shot live bullets.

The settlers attacked Palestinian homes "under the guard of the Israeli forces." When the residents of the camp responded to the attacks of settlers, they were dispersed aggressively by the Israeli forces using skunk water.

Occupied Al-Quds is livid as a result of Israeli aggression: Settlers have organized violent rallies under the so-called "Flag March" to storm the city's neighborhoods.
Today, a march of Palestinian flags took place in occupied Al-Quds, in response to the Israeli "Flag March" organized by settlers.
Local sources reported that dozens of Palestinians marched with Palestinian flags on Salah El-Din Street in occupied Al-Quds.

Meanwhile, Israeli Channel 13 reported, today, Sunday, that the settlements bordering Gaza were on alert with the start of the march, and a number of settlers headed to emergency shelters.
The channel indicated that there is fear within the security and military establishment, prior to the March, regarding violent confrontations and attempts to carry out operations and launch rockets from the Gaza Strip.
