Palestinian Territories: Protest to take place near the Great Mosque, Jenin, Aug. 25

Event

Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) has called for a protest to take place near Jenin's Great Mosque Aug. 25; a specific timeframe for the protest has not been provided. The purpose of the action is to protest recent clashes with Israeli security forces. Dozens to hundreds of people will likely participate in the demonstration.

Heightened security and localized traffic disruptions are likely around the protest site. Clashes are unlikely to occur during the demonstration given the lack of a formal presence of Israeli or Palestinian security forces.

Advice

Avoid all demonstrations due to the possibility of violence. Keep away from areas where security personnel appear to be deploying. If unrest erupts nearby, leave the area immediately. Heed all instructions from security personnel and allow extra time to reach destinations near protest locations.
