Heavily-armed Israeli occupation forces continue to cordon off the main entrances to Jerusalem’s holy al-Aqsa Mosque and Old City to give way for a mass Wednesday break-in by Israeli fanatics into the site.
Dozens of Israeli extremist settlers stormed al-Aqsa Mosque—the third holiest site in Islam—at daybreak via the Maghareba Gate sparking tension in and around the site.
Meanwhile lawyer Muhammad Mahmoud from the Prisoners’ Commission said dozens of peaceful Muslim worshipers who were arrested overnight by Israeli police near al-Rahma Gate have not been released yet.
On Monday Muslim worshipers smashed the iron locks and chains stealthily set up by Israeli police overnight at al-Rahma Gate. Israeli cops violently attacked the Muslim worshipers and arrested scores of them including women.
