Ramallah, October 22 (RHC)-- Israeli forces have arrested two dozen Palestinians during a series of raids on a number of houses across the occupied East Jerusalem.

Mohammad Mahmoud, a lawyer for the Ad-Dameer Prisoners' Support and Human Rights Association, said Israeli military vehicles stormed the al-Suwanna neighborhood on the Mount of Olives east of the Old City of Jerusalem on Thursday morning.

The Israeli forces broke into dozens of homes and rummaged through them, causing excessive property damage before detaining 10 Palestinians.

He added that the rest of the detainees came from the Jabel Mukaber neighborhood in southern East Jerusalem, the al-Issawiya neighborhood as well as the Silwan neighborhood on the outskirts of the Old City of al-Quds.

The latest developments come on the same day Israeli forces shot two Palestinians after accusing them of attacking an Israeli with knife in the western part of Jerusalem.

The shooting took place near the bus station in the city of Beit Shemesh. One of the Palestinians later succumbed to his wounds, while the other is in critical condition.
