Trouble at Al-Aqsa: Israeli police clash with Palestinian protesters during Ramadan

Trouble at Al-Aqsa: Israeli police clash with Palestinian protesters. Israeli forces raided Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem’s Old City early on Wednesday and attacked Palestinian worshippers, Palestinian media reported, raising fears of wider tension as Islamic and Jewish holidays overlap. Tension has already been high in east Jerusalem and the West Bank for months, and fears of further violence were fuelled with the convergence of the Muslim holy fast month and the Passover. Such confrontations at the contested holy compound, the third holiest shrine in Islam that is also the most sacred site in Judaism and referred to as the Temple Mount, have sparked deadly cross-border wars between Israel and Gaza’s Hamas rulers in the past, the last was in 2021. Videos on social media purportedly showed Israeli police officers beating Palestinians with batons and rifle butts at the mosque in the contested hilltop site revered by both Muslims and Jews. #Israel #Palestine #Ramadan #AlAqsa Original Article: Original Video: Daily Mail Homepage: Daily Mail Facebook: Daily Mail IG: Daily Mail Snap: Daily Mail Twitter: Daily Mail Pinterest: Get the free Daily Mail mobile app:
