According to reports in the Israeli media, this year, as in previous years, the Israeli police will not allow Jewish settlers to enter the Masjid al-Aqsa in occupied East Jerusalem in the last days of Ramadan.
In previous years, the Israeli administration did not allow fanatic Jewish settlers to raid Masjid al-Aqsa in the last days of Ramadan, and allowed Muslims who entered Itikaf to stay in the mosque.
Raids of fanatic Jews have increased
Fanatic Jews increased their raids on Masjid al-Aqsa during the week-long Passover, which started on Friday, April 15.
Israeli police accompany Jewish settler groups in their raids on Masjid al-Aqsa.
Israeli forces raided the Masjid al-Aqsa after the morning prayer on Friday, April 15, and intervened with sound bombs, tear gas and rubber-coated metal bullets. While the Israeli police announced that they had detained hundreds of people in the incidents, Palestinian non-governmental organizations stated that the number of those detained had reached 400.
MORE THAN 150 PEOPLE WERE INJURED
The Palestinian Red Crescent also announced that more than 150 people were injured in the raid of the Israeli police on Masjid al-Aqsa. The images of Israeli forces’ intervention with batons and beatings on civilians in the courtyard were reflected in the cameras.
Israel’s recent practices towards Masjid al-Aqsa have been met with reaction in the international arena.
IT WAS COVERED AT HERZOG MEETING WITH ERDOĞAN
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, during his meeting with Israeli President Isaac Herzog, stated that they were upset that more than 400 Palestinians were injured and 18 people, including children, lost their lives in the events that took place in the West Bank and Al-Aqsa Mosque since the beginning of Ramadan.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also strongly condemned the killing of 7 Palestinians by the Israeli security forces in Palestine, and the intervention and injury to the Muslims in the Masjid al-Aqsa.
The intense presence of the Israeli police around Jerusalem’s Old City and Masjid al-Aqsa continues. Israeli forces do not allow young Palestinian men to enter Aqsa before the Jewish settlers raid in the morning.
