Pak Sahafat – As clashes between Zionist forces and the Palestinian people continue Palestinian worshipers are preparing for Friday prayers as the Zionist occupiers prevent them from entering Al-Aqsa Mosque. The number of Palestinian wounded has reached 100 so far.
According to Pak Sahafat News agency, Al Jazeera quoted Palestinian worshipers as saying that they are not allowed to enter Al-Aqsa Mosque. Accordingly, the Zionist regime police prevented young men from entering the old part of Bab al-Amoud. The Zionist army has closed the streets around the old city and set up iron barricades at the entrance to Bab al-Amoud.
Official Palestinian sources also report the arrest of at least 400 Palestinians in recent clashes. 90 of the detainees are related to today’s clashes.
The continued resistance of the Palestinians against the brutal behavior of the Zionist militias forced the Zionist regime to open the doors of Al-Aqsa Mosque to the worshipers again this afternoon.
Today’s clashes started after the morning prayers and with the attack of the occupying forces of Quds on a group of worshipers.
The head of the Palestinian Red Crescent Society said that 100 Palestinian wounded had been taken to hospital, citing plastic bullets, tear gas and severe beatings by Israeli forces.
Today, at the same time as the escalation of tensions and clashes in Al-Aqsa Mosque, the Prime Minister of the Zionist regime convened an emergency meeting in the presence of the Minister of Security, the Commander of the Security Forces and the Commander of the Border Guard.

The Israeli Minister of Internal Security has also claimed that the regime is not interested in turning Al-Aqsa Mosque into a center of violence that harms Muslims and Jews.
