Zionist settlers intimidating, beating Palestinians in Jerusalem ahead of their Flad Day event

The settlers arrived at Bab al-Amoud, one of the entrances to the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem, in order to participate in the march of the Israeli flags.

A correspondent of a Lebanese media outlet, Almayadeen, on scene said, "The settlers are provoking Palestinian and foreign journalists in front of the Damascus Gate," noting that "the occupation police placed the journalists who wished to transfer directly from the Damascus Gate in a specific area, and prevented them from moving."

She added, "Large numbers of settlers arrived at Damascus Gate, in order to participate in the Flags March."

The settlers waved the flags of the occupation entity while singing in Bab al-Amoud Square, one of the most famous gates of the Old City, while Jerusalemites raised the Palestinian flag, rejecting the march.

The occupation forces beat a number of citizens, and prevented the press from approaching the place of the settlers' march, who announced that they would perform a so-called "flag dance".

Qatar's Aljazeera, also reported about violence. The outlet reported that ministers in the Israeli government participated in the so-called "flag march" in occupied Jerusalem, which was called for by extremist Israeli forces, while the Al-Jazeera correspondent said that today, Thursday, settlers and the occupation police attacked Palestinians inside the Old City and in the Damascus Gate area in Jerusalem.

The "flags' march" began this afternoon, Thursday, from West Jerusalem, and then reached the Bab al-Amoud area (one of the gates of the Old City).

The most prominent participants in the "March of the Flags" were the extremist Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir, the extremist Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, the Energy Minister Israel Katz and the Chairman of the Foreign Affairs and Security Committee in the Knesset (parliament) Yoel Edelstein, in addition to members of the Knesset for the Likud and the religious Zionist parties.
