This followed a declaration by Jewish settler groups to resume Aqsa raids from Monday and a call for a mass raid on Wednesday to mark so-called "Independence Day."

In the meantime, zionist police officers also raided the Bab al-Rahma prayer area of the Aqsa Mosque, damaging its electrical wiring and contents.

This was the second attack on the prayer area in less than two days. (ILKHA)
