Dozens of Palestinian citizens were injured on Monday in clashes with the Israeli occupation forces during a large-scale home demolition campaign in Sur Baher town in Jerusalem.

Local sources said that dozens suffered injuries as the Israeli forces attacked the Palestinian citizens who were protesting the demolition with pepper gas, stun grenades, tear gas canisters, and rubber-coated metal bullets.

In the early morning hours, the Israeli forces stormed Wadi al-Hummus neighborhood in Sur Baher, evicted Palestinian families from several residential buildings, and threw a cordon around the area in preparation for the demolitions.

Dozens of Israeli troops, accompanied by military bulldozers, were deployed in the area, while explosives were planted in the houses targeted with demolition. At least 500 Palestinians have been left homeless.
