The Israeli police forces brutally attacked a Russian Muslim in Souq al-Qattanin in the Old City of Occupied Jerusalem, before arresting him on Monday.
Eyewitnesses affirmed that the Israeli police arrested the young Muslim man while he was walking behind a group of settlers as they were storming the Aqsa Mosque in the afternoon.
Israeli special forces took the young man to Bab al-Qattanin, one of the gates of Aqsa Mosque. Altercations and fistfights were reported between the detainee and members of the special units, before he was arrested from Souq al-Qattanin.
In a separate incident, the Israeli forces prevented photojournalist Ahmed Jalajel from entering Aqsa Mosque, before arresting him at Lions Gate.
