JERUSALEM, Dozens of Palestinians suffocated by tear gas as Israeli forces attacked Palestinians demonstrating in protest of Israel’s flag march planned in occupied Jerusalem later today.

Israeli forces heavily fired stun grenades and tear gas canisters at demonstrators at the entrance to the town of al-Ram, northeast of occupied Jerusalem, causing dozens to suffocate.

Israeli groups plan to march in occupied Jerusalem later today in a flag-waving procession, amid escalating tensions across the occupied Palestinian territories.

Palestinian national and Islamic factions called for a ‘Day of Rage’ protests in Gaza and the occupied West Bank as a response to the provocative flag march.
