“Dozens of Israeli police officers stormed the compound and arrested 12 Palestinians while reading the Holy Quran in the mosque courtyards,” Firas al-Dibs, a spokesman for the al-Quds Islamic Waqf, told Anadolu news agency.
No details were available why the 12 Palestinians were arrested.
Meanwhile, some 53 Zionist settlers forced their way into the flashpoint site since morning, according to al-Dibs.
“The number of the settlers storming the mosque is expected to increase,” he said.
For Muslims, Al-Aqsa represents the world's third holiest site. The usurper and child killer regime of Israel occupied East al-Quds in 1967. It later annexed the city in 1980, claiming it as the capital of the fake entity called ‘Israel’ in a move never recognized by the international community.
