ISRAEL is committing crimes against humanity in occupied East Jerusalem, the Arab Organization for Human Rights (AOHR) said on Monday.
At least 305 people were injured on Monday when Israeli police stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque complex in East Jerusalem and attacked Palestinians who were on guard to prevent raids by extremist Jews.
Israel is committing violations against worshipers in Jerusalem “by preventing them from accessing places of worship, and using excessive force against them in a way that threatens their lives and most likely leads to death,” AOHR said in a statement.
The rights group also condemned the forced displacement of Palestinian families by Israeli authorities in Jerusalem’s Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood.
“Forced displacement is a war crime and is against humanity,” the AOHR said. “It proves once again that the Israeli judiciary is nothing more than a barbaric tool to pass racist Zionist crimes against Palestinian civilians.”
