On 23 July 2019 we reported on the harassment that the residents of the
Palestinian neighborhood of al-‘Esawiyah, East Jerusalem, had been
subjected to by the Israeli police since June. During one of the raids,
Muhammad ‘Abeid - a 21-year-old neighborhood resident - was killed. Over
the summer, B’Tselem documented ten cases of police brutality against
local residents, three of which are shown in this video. Police
harassment is an inseparable part of the Israeli policy in East
Jerusalem, which seeks to perpetuate a Jewish majority in the city.
