Clashes flare up as Israelis break into Aqsa Mosque attack Muslims

Thursday 7-June-2018

Clashes erupted on Thursday morning at Jerusalem’s holy al-Aqsa Mosque after dozens of Israeli settlers escorted by policemen stormed the site.

The Israeli forces arrested a Palestinian boy at the site and attacked the peaceful Muslim worshipers with randomly-fired spates of rubber bullets.

Tension has been running high as Israeli settlers and police continue to crack down on the Muslim worshipers and sit-inners at al-Aqsa Mosque.

Over recent weeks the Muslim worshipers at al-Aqsa have been subjected to tough crackdowns and restrictions by the Israeli police near the main entrances to the site.

Several worshipers have been searched and dozens more have had their IDs seized while attempting to enter the mosque to perform Ramadan prayers.
