Dozens  of Palestinians  Injured  during Clashes with  Israeli Police

Palestinian sources said that clashes took place this morning (Thursday) between Palestinian worshipers and the Israeli police in Al-Aqsa Mosque, east of Jerusalem, against the backdrop of the entry of Jewish groups into the mosque’s courtyards.

And the official Palestinian news agency (Wafa) stated that "dozens of those stationed inside Al-Aqsa Mosque were injured by suffocation and rubber-coated metal bullets during the clashes."

According to the Palestinian agency, the Israeli police "repressed those stationed in the mosque, resulting in dozens of  injuries from suffocation and rubber bullets, and surrounded some of them inside the  Mosque."

Palestinian sources reported that the Israeli police closed the gates of Al-Aqsa Mosque completely, a measure they usually take for a short time during the outbreak of clashes.
