Scores of extremist Jewish settlers on Tuesday evening participated in a provocative march towards the neighborhood of Batn al-Hawa in the east Jerusalem district of Silwan, where dozens of Palestinian families are facing an Israeli ethnic displacement plan targeting them.

According to local sources, the settlers marched from the Palestinian neighborhood of Maragheh to Batn al-Hawan, during which they intercepted cars of local residents and caused traffic chaos as they walked through streets under police protection.

The settlers also carried racist placards calling for forcibly expelling the Palestinians from their neighborhoods in Jerusalem.
