Watch: Israeli forces prevent Palestinians in Jerusalem’s Old City from preparing for Ramadan

Occupied Jerusalem (QNN)- Israeli occupation forces raided on Friday night the Bab Hutta neighborhood in Jerusalem’s Old City before harassing and preventing Palestinians from decorating the streets for the holy month of Ramadan.
Last night, Palestinian youths, men, and even children were decorating the streets of the Bab Hutta neighborhood in preparation for the Muslim holy month of Ramdan which is expected to start on March 22 or 23. Colorful lanterns and ornate Ramadan decorations filled the streets of the neighborhood for Ramadan as the people have been preparing since last week.
However, a group of well-armed Israeli occupation soldiers raided the neighborhood, harassed the Palestinians and ordered them to stop decorating the area.
