HeadlineJun 06, 2024

In occupied East Jerusalem, mobs of far-right Israelis attacked Palestinians and several journalists, including Saif Al-Qawasmi, on Wednesday during the Jerusalem Day Flag March to mark the anniversary of Israel’s seizing of East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza in 1967. In Palestine, June 5 is known as the Naksa, meaning “setback.” During Wednesday’s march Israelis were heard chanting “Death to Arabs” and “May your village burn.” Police reported making 18 arrests.
