The armed Palestinian terror group Lions’ Den on Friday called for a “day of rage” and riots in east Jerusalem, sparking concern as hundreds of Gazans gathered in protest at Israel’s southern border.
Residents of east Jerusalem were urged to set tires alight and declare civil disobedience by blocking streets and destroying police surveillance cameras.
In its statement, the Lions' Den pledged to “respond to the occupation police’s attacks,” adding: “We are with you, our hearts are with you, and we will always fight with you.”
Meanwhile, Gazans gathered in the hundreds at Israel’s border with the Palestinian enclave near the security fence, where they set tires on fire.
Israeli forces fired at some of the demonstrators to disperse the crowd, which eventually left the security barrier area, according to reports from Gaza’s governing Hamas movement.
