A large number of Israeli police forces on Sunday evening stormed the east Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah and attacked local residents, amid threats from Jewish settlers, who live in seized homes, to burn Palestinian homes.

Local activist Mona al-Kurd said that settlers threw stones at local residents in Sheikh Jarrah and tried to storm homes under police escort and verbally attacked families with insults and threats.

Al-Kurd added that police officers stormed the house of al-Qasem family on allegations of looking for a young man accused of throwing stones at settlers and forces. Consequently, local youths clashed with the police forces and showered them and settlers with firecrackers.

Later, the police used a skunk carrying truck to spray jets of stinky liquid at the young men during the events.
