‘Israeli’ occupation forces stormed the holy al-Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied al-Quds, and attacked Palestinian who condemned settlers’ insults against Islam’s Prophet Mohammad [PBUH].

The far-right Zionist settlers marched through occupied al-Quds on Tuesday to commemorate the regime’s seizure and subsequent occupation of East al-Quds in 1967.

Palestinians view the so-called “march of the flags” as provocative as Zionist settlers display their dominance over the occupied region.

During the march, settlers insulted Prophet Mohammad [PBUH], sparking anger among Palestinians who staged a protest after Friday noon prayers at al-Aqsa Mosque compound.

The protest was met by force and saw a child and a female journalist injured by rubber bullets fired by ‘Israeli’ forces at the demonstrators, according to Wafa news agency.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said nine Palestinians were wounded and four others were arrested at al-Aqsa Mosque compound on Friday.

Jordan, the custodian of Muslim holy sites in al-Quds, condemned the ‘Israeli’ attack on the Palestinian worshipers.

Jordanian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Daifallah al-Fayez said the actions of the Zionist police constitute “a flagrant violation of the sanctity of al-Aqsa Mosque and safety of worshipers.”

Weeks of ‘Israeli’ harassment of Palestinians in occupied al-Quds and attempts to appropriate Palestinian lands in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood was followed by the the Zionist regime’s bombardment of the besieged Gaza Strip.

The ‘Israeli’ aggression on Gaza, which began on May 10, left over 250 Palestinians martyred and more than 1900 others wounded, before a ceasefire came into effect on May 21.

Also on Friday, Zionist forces attacked a weekly anti-settlement protest in the village of Kafr Qaddum in the occupied West Bank, using tear gas and rubber bullets against the demonstrators.

Two young men were hit with rubber bullets, while dozens of others suffered breathing difficulties due to inhaling tear gas.
