Settlers invaded the mosque grounds on Thursday. This Friday it was the army's turn, firing tear gas canisters and stun grenades.
The Al Aqsa Foundation for Wadf and Heritage stated Friday that Israeli soldiers broke into the yards of the Al Aqsa Mosque, in occupied East Jerusalem, attacked dozens of worshipers and fired gas bombs at them.
The attack took place directly after the worshipers conducted Friday prayers at the mosque. The residents clashed with the invading troops forcing them out of the mosques' yard, local sources reported.
Later in the day, the army and undercover forces, based at a military post installed at a local Islamic school, invaded the yards of the mosque again, tried to surround it, but the residents clashed with them and refused to back down, an issue that forced the soldiers to ask the local guards of the mosque to intervene to enable them to leave the area through the Moghrabi Gate (Bab Al Magharba), Al Silsila Gate (Gate of the Chain). more
