Israeli agents infiltrate Palestinian protests in Ramallah to neutralize Palestinians and arrest protestors
Israeli agents dressed as Palestinians by using keffiyehs, a black and white scarf that symbolizes nationalism, and Palestinian flags as bandanas in order to neutralize protestors who gathered in reaction to U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
Palestinians took to the streets in Jerusalem, Nablus, Ramallah, al-Khalil (Hebron) and Gaza to protest the U.S. move. The Israeli agents were spotted in protests in Ramallah, the West Bank.
The agents arrested three protestors as Israeli security personnel shot tear gas and stun grenades at the crowds.
The agents aimed to neutralize the crowd and gain control of the protestors. One of the agents can be seen holding a protestor by the neck and firing into the air with his gun.
Tension has mounted across the West Bank and Gaza Strip since U.S. President Donald Trump announced his decision last week to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
On Wednesday, over 140 Palestinians were injured during the clashes in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, including seven by live ammunition and 25 others with rubber bullets.
In recent days, rallies have been held across Palestine, sparking clashes with Israeli forces.
Jerusalem remains at the heart of the Israel-Palestine conflict, with Palestinians hoping that East Jerusalem, occupied by Israel in 1967, might eventually serve as the capital of a Palestinian state.
