The Israeli occupation authority (IOA) has intensified its aggressive and racist practices against the residents of Issawiya district in east Jerusalem despite the spread of coronavirus.
The follow-up committee in Issawiya said the Israeli persistent violations in Issawiya are aimed at implementing its plan to isolate the district from other Jerusalemite towns and neighborhoods.
Member of the committee Mohamed Abul-Hems said that the occupation police forces persist in raiding homes, arresting citizens, and repressing and persecuting them, pointing out that the police intensified recently their attacks on local young men and children and imposed heavy financial penalties on them.
Abul-Hems added that the ferocity of the police attack on Issawiya heightened in recent times with the aim of imposing a new fait accompli in Jerusalem through displacing its native residents and punishing them.
He accused the Israeli occupation state of trying to promote false accounts about what happens in Issawiya and east Jerusalem’s villages and towns, expressing his confidence that such attempts would be doomed to failure because of the local residents’ steadfastness in the face of Israel’s arrogance and brutality.

The Israeli occupation authority (IOA) on Tuesday morning resumed spraying harmful herbicides on farmlands near the border fence in the east of the Gaza Strip.
The Palestinian health ministry in Gaza said that Israeli aircrafts sprayed the agricultural areas in the east of Gaza City with toxic chemicals.
Last Sunday, vast tracts of land planted with wheat, barley, corn, okra, molokhia (corchorus olitorius) and other crops sustained damage after Israeli agricultural aircrafts sprayed them with toxic herbicides.
In this regard, al-Mezan Center for Human Rights accused the Israeli occupation state of exploiting the global coronavirus crisis to destroy crops along the border fence in the east of Gaza, while persisting in imposing its tight siege on the population.
Al-Mezan Center called on the international community to assume its legal and moral responsibilities and intervene to prevent Israel from using toxic herbicides that exterminate crops and endanger the lives of farmers and citizens in Gaza.
Every once in a while, the IOA deliberately sprays agricultural areas in eastern Gaza with toxic chemicals and destroy large tracts of cultivated land under different flimsy pretexts.
