Dozens of settlers break into Al-Aqsa Mosque
Dozens of
Jewish settlers accompanied by Israeli security troops forced their way into
Jerusalem's flashpoint Al-Aqsa Mosque on Sunday, according to local sources.
The extremist
Israeli settlers and students of Talmudic yeshivas broke into the holy mosque
in groups, under heavy protection from Israeli police.
Late in 2015,
repeated incursions into the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound by Jewish settlers and
Israeli security personnel sparked months-long tensions in the occupied
Palestinian territories.
Meanwhile,
Extremist Israeli settlers last night attacked with stones an ambulance in
Shuhadaa Street in the city of Hebron, southern West Bank, according to local
sources.
Eid Abu
Menshar, an ambulance officer, told WAFA that extremist settlers attacked with
stones the ambulance vehicle he was in as he was on his way to rescue a patient
in Shuhadaa Street area.
Other
witnesses also told WAFA that some 15 settlers attacked with stones the
ambulance at the full sight of the Israeli occupation forces, who did nothing
to prevent the attack.
