Police thwart terror group rally in Jerusalem
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Israel Police says it has prevented a violent parade and show of force by a terror group in an East Jerusalem neighborhood.
Under the power of counter-terrorism laws, police sign an order prohibiting the event, organized by the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine on Tuesday and Wednesday in the Issawiya neighborhood.
Police, with the assistance of the Jerusalem municipality, entered Issawiya and took apart a marquee tent where some of the activities were supposed to take place, a statement says.
Six suspects, residents of Issawyia, are arrested and taken away for questioning on account of being members of a terror group, suspicion of disturbing the public peace, and conspiracy to commit a crime.
