Violent clashes, fire rock Muslims’ al-Aqsa

A wave of violent clashes flared up at and around Muslims holy al-Aqsa Mosque after the Israeli occupation army stormed Old city of Qods ('Jerusalem') and cordoned off the plazas of the Aqsa Mosque.

The Israeli occupation troops denied Muslim men and women, below the age of 50, along with Muslim learners and supervision staff, the right to enter the Mosque.

According to the Jerusalem Media Center, peaceful Muslim sit-inners choked on tear gas after Israeli troops broke into the Qibli Mosque and unleashed heavy barrages of tear gas canisters and rubber bullets.

Fire burst out in the southern part of the Qibli Mosque, the sources added.

A number of Muslim Palestinians from Occupied Qods have maintained sit-in vigils around the al-Aqsa Mosque since the early morning hours.

Tension flared up around the holy site after Israel’s minister of agriculture Uri Ariel and 40 Israeli fanatics stormed the Mosque under heavy police escort, according to PIC.
