Israel blocks entrances to Al-Isawiyya and Al-Ram in Jerusalem

Israeli occupation forces blocked the main entrances to the towns of Al-Isawiyya, located in the centre of Jerusalem, and Al-Ram, located in the north of Jerusalem, yesterday with large cement blocks.

Local sources said that the Israeli police blocked the main entrance to Al-Isawiyya with cement rocks and the police’s surveillance aircraft continuously flies around the area.

They added that Israeli snipers are stationed in the town’s cemetery in order to shoot any individuals protesting against the constant attacks on them and Al-Aqsa Mosque.

During his opening speech at the Cabinet meeting to discuss the latest developments in Jerusalem, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu admitted that he changed the conditions for opening fire on protestors in Jerusalem last week in an attempt to repress political activity opposed to the occupation’s polices and the temporal and spatial division of Al-Aqsa Mosque.
