That “debris” was not caused by the Israelis. That “debris” was what the
“dozens of young men” were going to “pray” with by throwing at Jews.
Under the leadership of the new Minister of Internal Security with the
support of the Minister of Defense we are no longer allowing Arab hooligans
to dictate conditions on the Temple Mount.
This is a move that warrants the support of all who truly want peace and
order.
Because it is impossible to placate the hooligans.
Concede to them here and they will only extend their violence to other
venues.

Israeli forces storm Al-Aqsa compound, assault worshippers

JERUSALEM (Ma’an) — Israeli police clashed with Palestinians at Jerusalem’s
flashpoint Al-Aqsa Mosque compound on Sunday just hours before the start of
the Jewish New Year, police and witnesses said.
Tensions have been running high at the holy site in the wake of a decision
by the Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon last week to outlaw two Muslim
groups that seek to “protect” the compound against groups of Jewish
worshipers.
Witnesses told Ma’an that Israeli forces stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound
shortly after dawn prayer, firing rubber-coated steel bullets and stun
grenades, leading to the injury of several worshipers.
The forces then surrounded worshipers inside Al-Aqsa Mosque itself and
closed its doors with “chains and bars” before firing rubber-coated bullets
inside the mosque, witnesses said.
Israeli police said that the rioters had barricaded themselves in the mosque
overnight with the aim of disrupting visits by Jews to the site ahead of the
start of New Year celebrations on Sunday evening.
Aside from the dozens of young men that had spent the night at the compound,
Israeli forces had denied all worshipers, except for a small number of men
over 50, entry to the holy site.
Israeli police spokesperson Micky Rosenfeld told Ma’an that Israeli forces
entered the compound at 6:30 a.m. to deal with “disturbances” inside the
compound, after which “Palestinians threw fire and fireworks” at the forces,
who then closed off the main gates of the mosque.
Israeli forces allegedly found “a number of pipe bombs” at the compound
during the raid, which Rosenfeld said he believes would have been used when
visitors entered the area later that morning.
The compound opened for visitors as scheduled at 8 a.m., and more than 30
right-wing Israelis toured the compound, including right-wing Israeli
Minister of Agriculture Uri Ariel, heavily escorted by Israeli forces.
Israeli forces said no arrests were made and no injuries were reported
during the clashes, although Palestinians witnesses reported several
injuries.
An AFP journalist saw a number of people being detained and heavy police
deployments in the Old City.
A Palestinian boy identified as Anas Siyam was evacuated to the hospital
after he was hit with a rubber-coated steel bullet in the chest. His
condition is unknown.
Witnesses added that Israeli soldiers also assaulted employees of the
Palestinian Ministry of Endowment, including the the director of the
compound Sheikh Omar al-Kiswani.
Following the incident, a spokesman for the Fatah movement in Jerusalem,
Raafat Ulayyan, urged Palestinians in the West Bank and Israel to “hurry to
defend” the holy Muslim site from which “our prophet Muhammad ascended to
heaven.”
He added in a statement that Muslim and Arab countries should “double their
efforts” to defend Al-Aqsa Mosque against an ongoing “process of
Judaisation.”
Senior Palestinian officials have expressed concerns in recent weeks that
Israel is restricting access to the compound in a bid to establish daily
Jewish prayer, despite an agreement forbidding non-Muslim worship at the
site.
Israeli authorities have not responded to the claims.
The third holiest site in Islam, the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound is also
venerated as Judaism’s most holy place as it sits where Jews believe the
First and Second Temples once stood.
Following Israel’s occupation of East Jerusalem in 1967, Israel has
maintained an agreement with the Islamic trust that controls the Al-Aqsa
compound not to allow non-Muslim prayer in the area.
Jewish prayer is allowed at the neighboring Western Wall, which is the last
remnant of the Second Temple.
However, Israeli forces have regularly escorted Jewish visitors to the
Al-Aqsa compound, leading to anger among Muslim worshipers.
At the end of June, International Crisis Group reported discussions between
Israel and the Islamic trust in Jordan on allowing non-Muslim worship at the
site, although the move has not been confirmed.
AFP contributed to this report.
