The Zionist police started on Monday to build a separation wall in occupied east Jerusalem, saying it would be temporary settlement to allegedly protect the neighborhood from possible Palestinian attacks.

Occupation police have set up six concrete blocks, each has length of two meters, in front of the Mount Scopus village which lies on the Heights in occupied Jerusalem.

The Zionist authorities have tightened security measures since first October after a persistent series of operations against the occupation were carried out by Palestinian young men in the occupied territories.
