BREAKING: Settlers fire live ammunition at protesters in Sheikh Jarrah 

Settlers are firing live ammunition at Palestinian protesters in the occupied East Jerusalem neighbourhood of Sheikh Jarrah, according to local media

Earlier today, Israeli forces were heavily patrolling the neighbourhood and dispersing any large gatherings of people in an effort to deter them from collecting.

Skunk water was also sprayed at people gathering and singing protest songs.

Sheikh Jarrah has been the focal point of protests in recent days, as a number of families face imminent eviction from an Israeli court.
