A Ma’an reporter present at the scene said that confrontations erupted after Israeli forces resealed the gate.
Soldiers assaulted Palestinian worshipers and students of Sharia school, detaining and assaulting five Palestinians, including a woman.
They then sealed off all gates of the mosque compound and prevented worshipers from entering.
