Scuffles erupt between Israeli forces, Palestinians in al-Quds – YouTube
Tensions remain high in the occupied West Bank, as the Israeli closure of the Old City in Jerusalem al-Quds continues into the second day.
Israeli forces deployed at the entrance of the Old City stopped and pushed back Palestinians trying to enter the area, which hosts the highly revered al-Aqsa Mosque. Tel Aviv has threatened to launch new military operations against Palestinians following the deaths of two Israelis over the weekend in al-Quds. There have been increasing clashes between Israelis and Palestinians over the storming of the al-Aqsa mosque by settlers, guarded by Israel soldiers. Israel has also detained a number of Palestinians in the northern city of Jenin. Nearly 30 Palestinians were injured in the raids.
