TEHRAN (IQNA) – Four Palestinians were injured in clashes with Israeli forces in East Jerusalem al-Quds, the Palestinian Red Crescent said Monday, after officers cordoned off a popular gathering spot for Ramadan crowds.

 

Israeli police said they made three arrests after the clashes, during which they used tear gas and water cannon to disperse a large crowd gathered outside one of the gates to the walled Old City, video posted on Twitter showed.

The Palestinian Red Crescent said four people in the crowd were wounded.

During the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, when the faithful fast from dawn to dusk, the promenade around the walls of the Old City is a popular place for Palestinians to gather after dark.

Two far-right Zionist lawmakers -- Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir of the Religious Zionism alliance -- visited police deployed outside the Old City on Sunday night.

"We need zero tolerance, an iron fist and to bring all the perpetrators to justice," Smotrich tweeted, AFP reported.
