Jerusalem, June 4 (RHC)-- Israeli troops clashed with Palestinian protesters in East Jerusalem, arresting several protesters during a festival of lights. According to reports on Wednesday, the scuffles erupted outside of the Damascus Gate in East al-Quds, where hundreds of Palestinians had gathered to protest against the inauguration of the Jerusalem Light Festival.

The demonstrators denounced the event as a "Judization festival," saying it is a sacrilege to the site. The Israeli forces threw grenades at the protesters, who included women and children, and reportedly detained three activists.

The Tel Aviv regime occupied the West Bank in 1967 and has tried to alter the demographic makeup of the region since then by defiling historical sites, evicting the local Palestinian residents and constructing illegal settlement units.

Palestinians have repeatedly launched rallies to voice their anger against Israel's provocative and sacrilegious acts, denouncing them as part of the regime's notorious plan to Judaize the region.
