Armed intrusion
Pictured here: On Tuesday, over the course of four hours, approximately 520 settlers invaded the Old City. The settlers were surrounded by armed military forces. One shopkeeper we spoke with closed his shop before the settlers came, fearing that products would be stolen or damaged, as this has happened in the past.
