Israeli forces arrest 20 Palestinians in occupied East Jerusalem

Israeli forces have arrested 20 Palestinian residents in occupied East Jerusalem on suspicion of incitement and supporting terrorism according to Israeli media.

The arrests come just hours before the Islamic holy month of Ramadan is set to begin. 

The Israeli police issued a statement saying that "from past experience, there are those who want to use the month of Ramadan to spread rumours and 'fake news,' while publishing a distorted version of reality on social networks."
