Nine elderly Palestinians have been wounded when Israeli green shirts pepper sprayed worshippers trying to enter the al-Aqsa Mosque Compound in East al-Quds (aka Jerusalem).
Orwellian UK BANNED Press TV: Witnesses said all of the wounded were elderly Palestinians.
According to local sources, several other worshippers were abducted during the clashes on Friday.
Israeli forces erected barricades around the mosque compound as part of restrictions imposed on Palestinians.
Hundreds of Israeli green shirts were also deployed to check the identification of worshippers. The sexist apartheid Israeli regime only allowed Palestinian men over 50 to enter the area.
Israeli green shirts have injured dozens of Palestinians in al-Aqsa Mosque in the past few days.
In recent months, Israeli green shirts and extremist land thieves (aka 'settlers') have stepped up attacks on Palestinians visiting the mosque. This has led to violent confrontations between the two sides.
The apartheid regime has also imposed severe restrictions to prevent Muslim worshippers from entering the mosque.
The new clashes took place amid reports that Israeli officials have unveiled the model of a Jewish temple to be constructed near the compound that reportedly has a big hall and can accommodate hundreds of visitors each day.
The Al-Aqsa Foundation for Endowment and Heritage says the move is a direct threat to the mosque.
Palestinian groups have already warned of large-scale Israeli excavations near the southern gate of al-Aqsa.
On February 25, the Israeli parliament, Knesset, discussed a plan to annex the compound, which lies in the Israeli-occupied Old City of al-Quds.
The compound, known to Jews as the Temple Mount, is Islam’s third-holiest site after Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia.
