Dozens of settlers stormed Al-Aqsa……. And clashes on its gates
Dozens of extremist settlers stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque on the occasion of the so-called “reunification of Jerusalem”, under heavy protection of the Israeli occupation police.
Al-Aqsa yards seemed to be empty from the young men andwomen prayers after preventing them from entering for the second consecutive day. The police set up roadblocks on all of Al-Aqsa Gates and denied entrance of anyone below the age of 50.
Clashed using hands occurred in Al-Qataneen market, Al-Silsileh Gate and Al-Majles Gate between the settlers and police on one side and the young men prevented from entering Al-Aqsa on another.
Some of the settlers performed the special prayer by Al-Silsileh Gate and the youths chanted “God is great” (Takbir). The police intervened and dispersed the settlers by force, and at Al- Qataneen Gate the settlers chanted “Temple’s Gate….Temple’s Gate” where they clashed with the youths using hands.
The youths at Al-Majles Gate tried to enter Al-Aqsa, but they were confronted by the police which hit them and sprayed them with pepper gas.
The police arrested on Wednesday morning the Jerusalem and Palestinian Mufti Sheikh Mohammad Hussein after raiding his house in Al-Sawahreh under the pretext of “breach of order in Al-Aqsa”, they also arrested Mustafa Abu Zahra, Chairman of the Islamic Graves Reconstruction Committee.
The 20 year old Naser Al-Sajloni was arrested after being severely assaulted by Hutta Gate during clashes between the police and the youths; the police also sprayed pepper gas wounding a woman and a young man.
