Israeli forces detain 5 Palestinians in Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem

Occupied Jerusalem (QNN)- Israeli occupation forces detained 5 Palestinian youths earlier on Friday while getting out of the Al-Aqsa Mosque in the occupied city of Jerusalem.

Local sources said the occupation forces were stationing at the gates of the mosque and detained 5 Palestinian young men after assaulting them when they were getting out of the mosque after praying.

Israeli forces always attack and assault Palestinian worhipers at the courtyards of the Mosque with sound grenades, rubber bullets and pepper gas.

The forces also station at the gates of the mosque and detain dozens of Palestinian young men and boys, after assaulting them.

The forces also facilitate and protect the settler incursions to the mosque everyday, as Israeli occupation authorities allow settlers to break into the mosque since 2003, despite repeated objections and warnings by the Palestinian religious authorities as the visits provoke worshippers of the mosque.

Al-Aqsa Mosque is the third holiest site in Islam which located in occupied Jerusalem.
