Zionist Occupation Troops Storm Al-Aqsa for 2nd Day in Row, Dozens Injured
Firas al-Dibs, spokesperson for the Islamic Endowment and Al-Aqsa mosque affairs told Ma’an that at least 35 people were hit with rubber-coated bullets in clashes with Israeli occupation forces that lasted for approximately three and a half hours. The injured reportedly received treatment in clinics inside the compound.
 
The majority were hit in the lower extremities, while a few others were hit in the head, shoulder and chest, al-Dibs said.
 
Al-Dibs added that dozens were hurt by tear gas and others were attacked with pepper spray as Israeli soldiers and police officers forcibly evacuated worshipers from the compound to secure an area for Zionist extremists touring the compound.
 
He highlighted the fact that using tear gas and pepper spray on worshipers can cause serious problems, as people are fasting.
 
Israeli police said in a statement that three people were detained at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound on Monday.
