Over 44,000 Palestinian residents reside in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Beit Hanina, between Shu’fat and Neve Yaakov.

Establishments, including restaurants, cafes, and clothing stores as well as others that offer entertainment and luxury items, have shut down, either in solidarity with the Palestinian people or due to fear of Jewish East Jerusalem residents—considered settlers by the Palestinians—patrolling the streets.

While some local business owners voiced their perspectives on the war between Israel and Hamas, others refrained from speaking out, prioritizing their safety.

A senior Israeli official accused Iran on Sunday of trying to open a second war front by deploying weapons in or through Syria as Israel steps up a counter-offensive in Gaza to the south.

The original post also said "the Israelis are determined to prevent" such developments. To that, Zarka responded: "We are."
