Israeli police forces violently attacked Palestinian worshipers in Occupied Jerusalem, preventing them from performing Friday prayer in the Aqsa Mosque compound for the ninth week in a row.
The police forces imposed tight military measures at Aqsa gates, preventing worshipers’ access to the compound.
Jerusalemite sources affirmed that 5,000 worshipers were only allowed to perform Friday prayers at Aqsa.
The Israeli forces were also deployed in large numbers in the Old City, restricting the Palestinian movement.
In a separate incident, Israeli forces attacked worshipers in the Wadi al-Joz neighborhood in Occupied Jerusalem after they had performed the Friday prayer outdoors.
