Israeli civil administration employees, on Friday, demolished the ‘Jerusalem Gate’ protest camp for the 10th time, a spokesman told Ma’an News Agency.Popular resistance committee spokesman Hani Halabiya said that Israeli forces raided the area, dismantled the camp and seized equipment.
Halabiya said the camp was most recently rebuilt Thursday evening, highlighting that activists continued their protest in the street across from the camp after it was demolished.
The camp was built in protest against an Israeli plan to build Jewish-only settlements in the E1 corridor east of Jerusalem on the way to Jericho where Palestinian Bedouins have been living for decades.
