On Friday, Israeli soldiers abducted at least eleven Palestinians at the various gates of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, in the occupied Palestinian capital, Jerusalem, in the West Bank.

Media sources said the soldiers and police officers stopped and interrogated dozens of Palestinians while leaving Al-Aqsa, and assaulted some of them.

They added that the soldiers abducted at least eleven young men and took them to a nearby police station.

The army imposed a tight siege on Al-Aqsa Mosque, all gates and alleys leading to it, in addition to barring hundreds of Palestinians from entering it.
