Israel’s police chief Yoram Halevy stormed on Thursday Jerusalem’s holy al-Aqsa Mosque, heading a group of Israeli occupation soldiers who participated in the 1967 war against the Palestinians. video
Jerusalem’s Awqaf Department said Israeli special forces rolled into al-Aqsa Mosque via the Maghareba Gate and cracked down on the Muslim worshipers. Yoram Halevy accompanied 85 Israeli soldier veterans who took part in the occupation of Jerusalem and al-Aqsa in 1967. 41 fanatic settlers also showed up in the break-in. |
Tension has been running high at and around the holy site, amid fears that the Mosque would be turned into a military barrack by the Israeli police and extremist settlers.
An Israeli settler was injured on Wednesday after he was allegedly attacked with stones near al-Khalil city.
The Hebrew website 0404 reported that an Israeli settler was transferred to Shaare Zedek Hospital in Jerusalem after he was hit with stones in al-Khalil.
Meanwhile, violent clashes broke out in Bethlehem when the Israeli occupation forces stormed al-Khader town.
Local sources said that the Israeli forces heavily fired rubber-coated metal bullets, teargas bombs, and stun grenades at the Palestinians. No injuries were reported.

Activists, accompanied by Israeli and international supporters, are shutting down the recently opened Eastern Ring Road near Jerusalem, which features separate lanes for Palestinians and Israeli settlers, divided by a wall.
A few dozen activists have closed the gates to the newly opened road, and are raising banners to protest apartheid and Israeli attempts to expand and cement control over the West Bank and Jerusalem.
Two protesters have been abducted and 4 protesters were injured at the time of this report. video
The road, which stretches between Road 437 and Road 1, inside the West Bank, features two separate lanes divided by a concrete wall – one for Israeli settlers and the other for Palestinians.
While the Israeli lane allows settlers quick and easy access to the center of Jerusalem, the Palestinian lane is designed to separate Palestinians off through an underpass, so as to not disturb settler traffic into the city.
According to the PNN, construction of the road is planned to continue to the south, further entrenching the two separate and unequal systems of transportation in the West Bank.
The Palestinian part is designated to eventually connect Ramallah to Bethlehem. This plan will enable Israeli authorities to block Palestinians commuting from the south of the West Bank to Ramallah from accessing Road 1, which leads to Jerusalem.
By doing so, the Israeli checkpoint between the West Bank and Jerusalem, which bars Palestinians access to their capital, could be moved several miles to the east, past the Ma’ale Adumin, Mishor Adumim, and Kfar Adumim settlements, in effect annexing them to Jerusalem.
Palestinians fear this is part of Israel’s Greater Jerusalem plan, which includes the expansion of the Ma’ale Adumim settlement into the E1 area, and is related to the displacement of Bedouin communities in the area, including Khan Al Ahmar and Jabal Al Baba.
Palestinian activist Munther Amira said, “Any shame the Occupation may have had of its apartheid policies is now completely gone with this road. We must not and will not allow for their plan of ethnic cleansing in the outskirts of Jerusalem.”

Israeli forces opened fire, on Tuesday morning, towards Palestinian farmers working in their lands in multiple locations in the besieged Gaza Strip, while the Israeli navy targeted fishermen at sea.
Eyewitnesses told Ma'an that Israeli forces opened fire towards Palestinian farmers, who were working in their agricultural lands in the eastern and southern parts of Gaza.
The farmers were forced to leave their lands in fear for their lives.
Meanwhile, Israeli naval forces repeatedly opened heavy fire at fishing boats, forcing fishermen to sail back to shore.
No injuries were reported from neither of the incidents.
The Israeli army regularly detains and opens fire on unarmed Palestinian fishermen, shepherds and farmers along the border areas if they approach the unilaterally declared buffer zone.
As part of Israel's blockade of the coastal enclave since 2007, the Israeli army, citing security concerns, requires Palestinian fishermen to work within a limited "designated fishing zone," the exact limits of which are decided by the Israeli authorities and have historically fluctuated.
Israeli human rights group B'Tselem recently concluded that Israel's Gaza closure and "harassment of fishermen" have been "destroying Gaza's fishing sector," with 95% of fishermen living below the poverty line.
