QNA/OCCUPIED JERUSALEMLAST EDITED FEBRUARY 19, 2023 |
Palestinians in the occupied Jerusalem neighborhoods of Jabal al-Mukaber, Anata, Al-Isawiya, Shufat and Al-Ram embarked Sunday on civil disobedience and a one-day general strike in protest of the Israeli repression measures against Palestinians in the city.
The civil disobedience includes a shutdown of the entrances to the four neighborhoods and a boycott of the Israeli occupation by all possible means, including refusing to pay taxes and calling on workers who work for Israeli employers not to go to their workplaces, according to (WAFA) news agency.
Confrontations between Israeli occupation forces and Palestinian protesters were reported this morning in Jabal al-Mukaber and Al-Isawiya neighborhoods, shortly after the civil disobedience came into effect.
The Palestinian national and Islamic forces in occupied Jerusalem declared Saturday their intention to observe civil disobedience, starting Sunday early morning, in protest of the Israeli repression measures against Palestinians in the city and the rest of the occupied territories.
The civil disobedience comes in response to the daily crimes of the Israeli occupation government against the people in Jerusalem and the rest of the occupied territories, including extrajudicial killings, arrests, and home demolitions.
It also comes against the backdrop of the almost daily Israeli police and military raids on the Palestinian refugee camp of Shuafat, in occupied Jerusalem, and the adjoining town of Anata.
