Israeli forces assault worshipers at Al-Aqsa Mosque

Days of Palestine, Jerusalem -A large number of Israeli occupation forces stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque and assaulted Muslim worshippers, injuring around ten of them.

“In the very early morning, we were surprised with the Israeli forces storming the Yards of the Mosque with a big number of settlers and foreign tourists,” Omar Kaswani, chief guard of Al-Aqsa Mosque said.

“We wanted to neutralise the settlers, but the Israeli soldiers, who were protecting them, interfered violently and attacked the worshipers indiscriminately,” he added.

Medical sources said that around ten worshipers were wounded, including one suffered serious injuries. Three of Al-Aqsa guards were among the wounded.

An eyewitness said that the settlers and the Israeli soldiers entered into Al-Aqsa Mosque though Bab al-Magharbeh Gate.

It is worth mentioning that there was an agreement between Endowment and Heritage Ministry and the Israeli police not to allow settlers entering into Al-Aqsa Mosque during the last ten days of Ramadan, when thousands of Muslims perform night prayers there.
