Thousands of Palestinians demonstrate in US to denounce Israel’s unceasing attacks in Al-Quds and Gaza

International

NEW YORK, (ST)_ Thousands of Palestinians in the United States have organized demonstrations to denounce the Israeli occupation forces’ unceasing attacks against Palestinians in the West Bank and the besieged Gaza Strip.

Demonstrators carried banners denouncing the ongoing crackdown at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem’s Old City, as well as Israeli plans to forcefully expel Palestinians from their homes in occupied East Jerusalem.

Some banners read “Free Palestine”, “Israel is a terrorist state”, and “Occupation No More”.

The Israeli raids on Gaza come after weeks of mounting tension over the looming forced expulsion of Palestinian families from Sheikh Jarrah, a Palestinian neighbourhood in occupied East Jerusalem that Jewish settlers have been trying to expel them from for decades.

The situation escalated when Israeli police stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque – the third-holiest site in Islam – and wounded hundreds of Palestinian worshippers during several days of violence.

 Protests broke out across the occupied territories and inside Israel.

The Palestinian resistance launched rockets towards Tel Aviv and Ashkelon in retaliation for the Israeli attacks in Al-Quds.
