Israeli forces storm al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem al-Quds – YouTube
Soldiers fired tear gas to disperse the Palestinian worshippers, injuring three of them. The provocative visit to the mosque compound comes as Israelis are celebrating Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. In recent months, Tel Aviv has intensified its restrictions on Palestinian worshippers entering the holy Islamic site. Israeli forces and settlers have also stepped up their attacks on the mosque, which has led to violent confrontations between the two sides. Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas has condemned the attack.
