’Israeli’ Forces, Settlers Storm Al-Aqsa for 2nd Day: Dozens of Palestinians Injured
Local Editor
For the 2nd day, "Israel" continued its aggression against al-Aqsa Holy Mosque and its worshippers.
"Israeli" forces have engaged in fresh clashes with Palestinians as the apartheid entity's troops and settlers stormed the al-Aqsa Mosque in Occupied al-Quds, leaving at least 29 worshipers injured.
Scores of "Israeli" settlers, accompanied by "Israeli" forces, stormed the holy site on Monday.
The "Israeli" soldiers attacked the worshipers - who protested the desecration of the mosque - firing teargas and rubber-coated steel bullets.
Similar scuffles erupted on Sunday after "Israeli" settlers and forces stormed the al-Aqsa Mosque compound. Several Palestinians were injured and at least four were arrested.
The occupied Palestinian territories have been the scene of heightened tensions since August 2015, when "Israel" imposed restrictions on the entry of Palestinian worshipers into the al-Aqsa Mosque compound.
The al-Aqsa Mosque is the third holiest site for Muslims after Masjid al-Haram in Mecca and Masjid al-Nabawi in Medina.
Nearly 220 Palestinians have lost their lives at the hands of "Israeli" forces since the beginning of last October.
