The soldiers also invaded the central West Bank district of Tubas and kidnapped three Palestinians, identified as Rabea’ Mustafa Shafe’ey, Husam Hammad Abu Zeina and Hussein Daraghma.

In Ramallah, the soldiers searched a few homes and kidnapped a Palestinian, identified as ‘Eid Tal’at Rimawi, 23, from Beit Rima town.

In occupied Jerusalem, the soldiers kidnapped Saleh Bader Abu ‘Assab and Mohammad Naseef, in addition to three South African men, and one Palestinian from Jenin, protesting ongoing Israeli invasions into the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Dozens of Israeli soldiers and fanatic settlers stormed the courtyards of the Al-Aqsa mosque, before the army assaulted many worshipers who protested the provocative tour.

The soldiers prevented all worshipers below the age of 30 from entering the mosque, and opened the al-Magharba Gate to allow dozens of Israeli extremists into the courtyards. The mosque was only opened to Muslim worshipers after 11:30 before noon.

At least five persons were injured during ensuing clashes between the worshipers and the invading soldiers. The wounded were moved to the Al-Makassed Hospital in Jerusalem.
