Israel attacks Palestinian worshippers

Palestinian sources said 70,000 worshipers performed Friday prayers at al-Aqsa Mosque, the third holiest site in Islam, in occupied East Jerusalem al-Quds on the first Friday of the holy Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.

Israeli troops barred many more from entering al-Quds. Tensions increased in the region after Israeli forces attacked thousands of Muslim worshippers leaving al-Aqsa mosque.

Palestinians took to the streets in Jerusalem al-Quds and several other cities in the occupied West Bank to protest against Israel’s restrictions of gatherings and its crackdown on protests.
