Israeli forces this evening quelled the weekly anti-settlement rally in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of occupied East Jerusalem, said local sources.

Eyewitnesses said Israeli forces beat up participants in the rally, including foreign and Arab activists, who rallied against Israel’s ethnic cleansing policy aiming to uproot the Palestinian residents and replace them with Jewish settlers. However, no injuries were reported.
