| Subject: Israhell bars Palestinians from Jerusalem's Old City Mon Oct 05, 2015 1:34 am | |
| In an unprecedented measure, Israeli police barred Palestinians from Jerusalem's Old City on Sunday in response to stabbing attacks that killed two Israelis and wounded three others, as Israel's prime minister vowed a "harsh offensive" to counter rising violence...
Clashes with Israeli security forces and Jewish settlers left 77 Palestinians wounded from live rounds and rubber bullets over the past 24 hours, the Palestinian Red Crescent said Sunday.
The toll included 18 wounded from live rounds and 59 from rubber bullets, Red Crescent spokeswoman Errab Foqaha said.
Another 139 have been treated for tear gas inhalation and six for injuries sustained in beatings by soldiers or settlers, she said.
The PRCS has also declared a state of emergency in the West Bank and East Jerusalem in response to what it said were "attacks by occupation forces and settlers."
Ambulances operated by the organization were attacked by Israeli soldiers on Friday and Sunday, and five of its paramedics have been assaulted by troops, the PRCS said in a statement on Sunday.
