Israel sprays skunk water at Palestinians marking Israa and Miraj

Palestinians ran from the water as they were soaked by the moving van

Israeli forces yesterday attacked dozens of Palestinians, and arrested a child and a young man near Damascus Gate in occupied East Jerusalem.

Local sources told the media that 23 Palestinians were injured after occupation forces used heavy handed measures to disperse Plestinians who had gathered to mark the ascension of the Prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him), known as Israa and Miraj.

Occupation forces sprayed skunk water at Palestinians who could be seen running in an effort to avoid the foul water.

Sound and smoke bombs were also used to disperse the Palestinians with minors detained and a 12-year-old girl hit with a baton by Israeli soldiers and then strangled with it.
