Jerusalem's usually bustling Old City becomes a ghost town: Reporter's Notebook_我的网站

A |     JERUSALEM -- It's a far cry from the usual hustle and bustle, so typical of Jerusalem's Old City.The steps of the Damascus Gate have been cleared out. Gone are the fruit and sumac vendors. And inside the Old City: rows and rows of shops have shut down."This is the worst days we've ever seen in our lives. Even when the corona[virus] was here it was better than this," said Adnan Jaffa, who runs the Jaffar Sweets shop. "Because of the war ... the situation. In five minutes we're going to close because there is nothing to do."For those who know the Old City, it's an eerie place to be. Even the Church of the Holy Sepulchre -- where Christ is believed to have been buried and resurrected -- was empty on Sunday but for a handful of worshippers. It felt like we were being given a private tour of one of the world's holiest and most visited sites.Ehab Barakat, who was cycling through the deserted Old City, was one of the few customers out there on the city's streets.Asked about the increasing tensions, he said: "We hope it will be quiet."He added, "This is the time to be united. One."But the latest cycle of violence has come has no surprise, he said."The new government of Israel … you would be stupid if you would not guess what is going to happen. And we are not stupid. We were just waiting for the time.""The people get so tied … like a balloon. With a lot of air inside. And then it will…"His English may have failed him -- but it seemed clear what he meant.Israeli police now stand at the entrance to the Damascus Gate, occasionally searching young men. Orthodox Jews occasionally wander through the Old City to worship at the Western Wall. But there is none of the fervour which people associate with Jerusalem. It's been replaced by a strange quiet.In the words of Abushadi Sinjlawi, another shopkeeper we found closing early for the day, "The city is under lockdown."But away from the eerie quiet and melancholy atmosphere in the Old City, the situation is tense. Jerusalem is said to be the most heavily policed city in the country, and that will likely remain the case as the war in the south rages on.Checkpoints have been set up across East Jerusalem. And videos are spreading online appearing to show the harassment of Palestinians at the hands of the police. Cars are being stopped and searched. There are videos of apparent police beatings. In sporadic, individual incidents where locals have clashed with police, the response appears to have been brute force.Already at least 50 Palestinians have been killed in East Jerusalem and the West Bank since the war broke out -- that's more than the highest ever monthly total since the UN began keeping records in 2005.。          　　自然资源部与中国气象局8月24日18时联合发布橙色地质灾害气象风险预警：2026年8月24日20时至25日20时，辽宁东部局部、浙江东南部、福建东部和南部局部、广东东部局部和中北部局部、广西南部局部、云南西部局部、西藏东南局部发生地质灾害的风险较高(黄色预警);浙江东南局部、福建东部局部发生地质灾害的风险高(橙色预警)。      　　各级政府及有关部门按照应急预案做好地质灾害防御工作。请社会公众及时关注地质灾害气象风险预警信息，谨慎前往地质灾害预警区域。     　　橙色预警区内高风险隐患点和风险区受威胁人员，请根据当地防灾部门组织立即撤离前往附近避险安置点，临坡临崖临沟临水人员根据撤离信号及时撤离前往附近避险安置点。      　　黄色预警区内人员，请随时关注预警信息变化，注意附近警示标志，避免在沟谷、斜坡、陡崖(坎)等高风险地带逗留。。
