Palestinian killed, 30 injured in clashes with Israeli occupation forces

QUDS, Feb. 14 (YPA) – At least Thirty Palestinians and activists were injured Sunday evening during clashes with Israeli occupation army forces in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood east ofal-Quds ( Jerusalem).

According to the Palestinian Red Crescent in al-Quds, one child, three paramedics and foreign solidarity activists were injured by Israeli occupation fires.

Last night, dozens of Israeli settlers, under the occupation forces’ protection, attacked residents of the Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood and threw stones at their homes and objects. The settlers also smashed the windows of several of the residents’ vehicles.

The occupation forces also attacked the residents, including the family of Salem, who is facing Israel’s threat of forced displacement of their home in the neighbourhood, by spraying pepper gas in their faces and firing sound bombs, tear gas canisters, and rubber-coated metal bullets, resulting in the suffocation of some of them while others sustained burns, including elderly people, women and children.

The Palestinian Health Ministry and witnesses said Monday that the occupying forces shot dead a Palestinian during a clash in the occupied West Bank as troops prepared to demolish the home of a man accused of killing an Israeli.
