Friday, the IOF suppressed Jerusalemites with sound bombs and beatings, to prevent their presence at the Yusufiya cemetery - the martyr's monument.

Local sources reported that the IOF fired stun grenades and tear gas extensively towards the people in the confrontations that erupted in the vicinity of the Yusufiya cemetery, as a result of which dozens suffocated, three of whom were taken to hospital, according to the Red Crescent. 

Two family members of Palestinians buried at the cemetery were arrested. 

The occupation authorities have attacked the cemetery since Oct. 11, when excavations and bulldozing operations began in an effort to turn it into a settler garden project.
