    Settlers attacked the residents of Sheikh Jarrah in Jerusalem, while Israeli soldiers arrested two young men and wounded 20 civilians while they dispersed the residents who went out to defend themselves.
    A number of neighborhood residents affirmed that the settlers, with the protection and support of the occupation forces, attacked the houses with stones causing a state of terror, especially among the children.
    They also added that the settlers burned the house of the al-Qasim family and prevented the young men from putting out the fire, while the soldiers fired rubber-coated metal bullets, sound bombs and tear gas extensively towards the citizens and beat others with pepper gas.
     
    The Palestinian Red Crescent Society stated that its crews dealt with 20 injuries as a result of the occupation forces’ attack, 3 of them with pepper gas, 13 with tear gas, two with rubber bullets, and two injuries as a result of the beating, one of whom was an elderly man who was hit in the head and subsequently transferred to the hospital.
     
    PRCS also indicated that the settlers attacked an ambulance belonging to it with stones, while Israeli forces directly targeted another one by the wastewater.
