Israeli troops attack Palestinians inside Al Aqsa Mosque during morning prayers, wounding several worshippers, according to local media and witnesses
Israeli troops have fired tear gas and stun grenades at worshippers inside Al Aqsa Mosque in occupied East Jerusalem, local media reported and witnesses said. Videos shared by Palestinians on social media showed Israeli troops storming the mosque as worshippers gathered for early morning prayers.
The storming of Islam's third holiest site sparked violent clashes between Israeli troops and Palestinians. "Seven injured people were taken to hospital to be treated for upper body injuries," a member of the Palestinian Red Crescent told the AFP news agency. The escalation of violence comes during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan and ahead of the start of the Jewish festival of Passover, an overlap that can heighten tensions around sacred sites in Jerusalem's Old City.
Last year, similar violence by the Israeli troops and illegal settlers at the Al Aqsa Mosque set off devastating 11-day fighting in besieged Gaza, killing and wounding hundreds there.
