The organization called on the international community, especially the United Nations Security Council, “to compel Israel to abide by the principles of international law, and international treaties and conventions, to stop its dangerous attacks against the Palestinian people, and to ensure international protection for them.”
On Sunday night Israeli soldiers raided Damascus Gate, one of the gates in occupied East Jerusalem’s Old City, for the second night in a row, detaining 13 Palestinians and injuring 20 others.
