Israeli forces violently evict Palestinian worshipers from Al-Aqsa Mosque
Jerusalem, July 19 (RHC)-- In occupied East Jerusalem, Israeli police violently attacked and forcibly removed worshipers from the Al-Aqsa Mosque Sunday, just two days ahead of Eid al-Adha and as Israeli forces continue their attacks in the Occupied Territories.
Sheikh Omar al-Kiswani, the director of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, told reporters: “It is clearly provocative action. At dawn, Israeli forces evacuated worshipers by force, and more than 1,300 extremists visited and prayed, and did provocative tours. The occupation forces raided Al-Aqsa compound and attacked worshipers who are in there until now.”
