OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, - Palestinian young men clashed with the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) Tuesday morning in many neighborhoods in occupied Jerusalem in protest at the Israeli decision to annex the Ibrahimi Mosque and Bilal Mosque to the list of the alleged Jewish historical sites.
Eyewitnesses reported that young Palestinians from Shu’fat refugee camp torched tires and threw stones at the IOF troops who in turn fired live and rubber bullets, and tear gas grenades at the protesters. The troops also closed the camp checkpoint.
Other clashes reportedly took place in the areas of Sawanah in Al-Zeitoun Mount, Bab Al-Amud, Sultan Suleiman street and Salahuddin street in Jerusalem.
In the same context, the Jordanian government strongly denounced Israel for declaring the annexation of the Ibrahimi Mosque and Bilal Mosque to what is called the list of the Jewish historical sites.
Minister of information Nabil Al-Sharif told the Jordanian news agency Petra on Monday that Jordan rejects such unilateral Israeli measures, and affirmed that the Israeli policies which aim to change the Islamic historical sites in the occupied Palestinian lands constitute a blatant violation of international law.
Sharif also said that this Israeli behavior is a new act of aggression added to a number of Israeli violations that are aimed to Judaize the Arab and Muslim places in Palestine.
