As today's court proceedings were concluded at the Israeli high court, Israeli forces stormed homes in Sheikh Jarrah, arrested multiple youths and harassed its Palestinian residents. #SaveSheikhJarrah

This was the scene in Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood this past hour when Israeli police forces & Shabak raided homes of multiple Palestinian families, arresting (3?) youths, harassing others.

This is Sheikh Jarrah resident Saleh Diab being harassed by a member of the force who appears to be directing the arrest campaign in the neighborhood right now

I am a runner.
I run marathons around whole world. Never have I been attacked violently by police forces as I was today, during the Jerusalem run from #SaveSheikhJarrah to #SaveSilwan.
I was beaten six times, attacked by Israeli forces, for running in my ancestral town & city.

We ran 3.5 kilometres from Sheikh Jarrah to Silwan. I arrived at the finish line Batn Al-Hawa, Silwan neighbourhood under threat of ethnic cleansing by Israel.
All runners wore t-shirts that had # 7850 printed on back, the number of Palestinian Jerusalemites under threat.

Out of nowhere, Israeli forces raided the finish line, where we had gathered and been singing songs, drinking water, and resting our legs.
They were violent, attacked everyone indiscriminately, beating, throwing grenades, & firing rubber bullets at some.

Hard & soul crushing.
#Jerusalem journalist Zeina Halawani (recently arrested by Israeli forces in #SheikhJarrah), speaks about desperation she felt hearing children screaming for their mothers at night during the few nights she spent in Israeli cells. 😣
