New Delhi, Clashes between Israeli police and Palestinians have been reported at the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, the capital of Israel, during the current month of Ramadan.
It is said that 67 people were injured in the violence that erupted here. Israel claims ownership of the mosque and has barred Palestinians from entering. The ban has been lifted following Ramadan.
Thousands of people thronged the mosque for this morning’s prayers, and violence erupted.
According to the news agency, Israeli police entered the mosque just before dawn. Israel, meanwhile, says stones were piled up in the mosque for stoning, and police stormed the mosque to remove them after receiving information. Police were forced to remove the stones to prevent possible violence.
Police said that some people involved in the scattered crowd after Namaz started to throw stones on a holy Jewish place in the western Jewish place and due to this, the police were forced to take action.
The video, meanwhile, shows Palestinians throwing stones and Israeli police throwing tear gas shells.
The Palestinian emergency services say 67 people have been injured in the clashes.
Al-Aqsa Mosque was attacked during Ramadan last year, and fighting has erupted between Israel and the terrorist group Hamas. Which lasted eleven days.
For the past few days, Hamas and other groups have been urging Palestinians to gather at the mosque. Because people are afraid that Israel wants to occupy this mosque or divide it.
Since the 1967 war, Israel has occupied the eastern part of the mosque and other holy sites. The people of Palestine are demanding that the occupied eastern part of Israel become the capital of our independent country.
