Amnesty International accuses Israel of using brutal force against the Palestinians

Amnesty International accused Israel of “using force and brutality against Palestinian demonstrators in the ongoing clashes in East Jerusalem,” which caused hundreds of injuries among the demonstrators.
The organization stressed that these measures are disproportionate and illegal, calling on the Israeli authorities to “immediately stop the forced evictions in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood and end the continuous forced displacement of Palestinians from East Jerusalem.”
The organization said it had gathered evidence revealing “a horrific pattern of the Israeli forces’ use of arbitrary and excessive force against largely peaceful Palestinian demonstrators in recent days.”
