The soldiers invaded the al-Farouq area in Jabal al-Mokabber, southeast of Jerusalem, and demolished a store for what the army said “being built without a permit.”
In addition, the army invaded the ath-Thoury neighborhood, in Silwan town, south of the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, and demolished an agricultural hothouse, and a stable for horses, owned by Ala’ Issa Shweiki, who is also a former political prisoner. The attacks also led to damage to nearby property, and resulted in cutting and uprooting several trees.

Local sources said that the navy attacks the fishing boats in the Sudaniyya Sea area, near Gaza city, while they were sailing less than four nautical miles from the shore.
