Ignoring international norms and conventions, Israeli occupation forces assaulted Palestinian Muslim devotees at the Bab Arrahma praying court and at the Bab Hetta court of Al-Aqsa mosque, in occupied Jerusalem.
Eyewitness reported that forces assaulted the congregation at Bab Arrahma court and abducted two Jerusalemite men and a woman, in the time of the evening prayer. Al Ray’s sources added that Israeli forces also assaulted the congregation at Bab Hetta court and denied them access to the mosque.
These attacks coincide with occupation police plans to issue a decision to seal Bab Arrahma gate completely, in order to Judaize the area, the office of Islamic Endowments said in a statement, on Wednesday.
