Israeli Forces Raid Al-Aqsa Mosque Again - Tasnim News Agency

(Tasnim) – Israeli forces stormed al-Aqsa Mosque again using tear gas, and rubber-coated steel bullets, in an attempt to evacuate the yards from Muslim worshipers for the presence of Israeli settlers at the holy site.

Israeli police used force and firepower against Palestinian worshipers, forcing some of them, including women, to go inside the building and wait for the extremist Israeli settlers to finish their tour, the Palestinian Wafa news agency reported.

According to the Red Crescent about 20 Palestinians were injured as a result of Israeli attacks in al-Aqsa.

Crowds of settlers were allowed by the police to storm Al-Aqsa Mosque during the Jewish Passover holiday, which coincided with the holy month of Ramadan, leading to great violence against Palestinian worshippers over the past few days.

On Wednesday, more than 1,000 Israeli settlers stormed the al-Aqsa Mosque, provoking more tensions, as the top preacher of the mosque, Sheikh Ekrima Sa’id Sabri, warned the Tel Aviv regime that such repeated storming of the holy site is “playing with fire.”
