Israeli forces attack Palestinian worshippers at al-Aqsa Mosque
‘Israeli forces have attacked Palestinian worshippers at an entrance to the al-Aqsa Mosque compound, leaving 18 people injured.
According to Ma’an news agency, the mosque is still under Israeli control despite the reopening of some of its doors after the regime installed electronic gates at three entrances to the mosque and closed the others.
Israeli forces on Sunday reopened the al-Aqsa Mosque compound, which includes al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock, in East Jerusalem al-Quds two days after they closed it following a deadly shooting in the area.
Muslims, however, refused to enter the site in protest at the newly-imposed security measures, including metal detectors and cameras. Dozens of worshippers held prayers outside the compound, at the entrance near the Lions’ Gate entry to the Old City.
Israeli forces attacked people outside the compound on Sunday. According to the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS), 18 Palestinians sustained injuries. Four Palestinians were also arrested.’
