4 worshipers injured as Israeli forces storm Al-Aqsa

JERUSALEM (Ma'an)

Israeli special forces stormed the Al-Aqsa mosque compound and injured four worshipers on Sunday morning, medical sources said.

Eyewitnesses said that Israeli forces entered the compound through the the Chain Gate, throwing stun grenades and shooting rubber bullets toward worshipers and blockading worshipers in the Al-Aqsa mosque.

Four Palestinians were injured by rubber-coated steel bullets and fragments of stun grenades after Israeli forces opened fire on worshipers, the medical clinic inside the Al-Aqsa compound said.

One person was hit in the forehead and subsequently lost consciousness and sight for five minutes. The individual was taken to hospital for treatment.

They want to tear down the mosque and make the site exclusively Judaic.
