Israeli soldiers raid al-Aqsa Mosque, attack peaceful Muslim sit-inners
The Israeli occupation soldiers on early Tuesday morning broke into Muslims’ holy al-Aqsa Mosque for the third day in a row and smashed the entrance gates of the Qibli Mosque before they aggressively assaulted the peaceful Muslim sit-inners and worshipers.
A Palestinian Information news correspondent quoted a member of the Islamic Endowment personnel at al-Aqsa as reporting that the heavily-armed occupation soldiers smashed the gates of the Qibli Mosque in an attempt to nab the non-violent sit-inners who have been maintaining vigil in protest at Israeli vandalism at the Mosque.
“The Qibli Mosque sustained serious damage after Israelis wreaked havoc on it, burned down its carpets, and ruined its historical windows,” the official stated.
Meanwhile, a peaceful sit-inner at al-Aqsa said at least 20 Muslim worshipers sustained wounds after the Israeli occupation troops attacked them with heavy spates of tear gas canisters and rubber bullets.
The Israeli occupation soldiers have also come down heavily on the Muslim congregation and supervision personnel at al-Aqsa, denying them the right to enter the holy place of worship while boosting break-ins by fanatic Israelis and vandals.
The Israeli occupation forces and settlers stepped up break-ins and vandalism at the holy al-Aqsa Mosque, Muslims’ third holiest site, as part of ongoing intents to enforce a spatio-temporal division on the Mosque.
