The police officers were deployed in the Mosque’s courtyards and plateaus and started pushing and shoving Palestinian women to force them to leave the Mosque, whilst simultaneously escorting Jews into the holy mosque's courtyards. The police officers were keen on emptying the Mosque of press teams to conceal their violations inside the holy site.
The Jewish settlers performed provocative tours and Talmudic rituals in the holy shrine.
Palestinian young men trapped at the Qibli prayer building suffered breathing problems after being attacked by tear gas bombs.
An elderly was shot and injured by a rubber bullet during the attack.
Zionist occupation forces earlier imposed tight restrictions on Palestinians' entry into the holy site and the Old City, preventing the access of many Palestinians, especially young people, into the compound.
More than a thousand settlers broke into the Mosque’s courtyards on Wednesday. (ILKHA)
