IOF target Arafat stadium in Jerusalem with tear gas
Occupied Jerusalem (QNN)- Israeli forces on Saturday targeted Arafat Stadium with tear gas bombs. The Israeli attack forces Palestinian footballers to leave the scene, reported WAFA. Israeli soldiers threw tear gas canisters at the players during a raid into Issawiyyeh. The raid is one of the Israeli daily raids into the neighborhood. Israeli forces carry out daily raids into Issawiyyeh, Jerusalem, turning the lives of 20,000 citizens into hell. The raids are usually accompanied by arrests, land-grab, and attacks on houses. Before 1967, the size of Issawiyyeh was 12,500 Dunums. However, the apartheid wall and settlement swallowed most of the neighborhood, leaving only 2300 Dunums.
