Israeli Occupation Soldiers Assault Muslim Worshippers Assaulted at Al-Aqsa Mosque, Abduct Scores of Palestinians in the West Bank

Editor's Note:

While brutal force has been used to create Zionist Israel and sustain it thus far, Zionist claims to Palestine are false. Actually, from the five thousand years of known written history, there has been a continuous Palestinian-Canaanite presence in the Holy Land. Despite the Zionist false claims, the ancient Israelites ruled part of the land for only 85 years (during the reign of David, Solomon, and Solomon's son).

After that, the Egyptians conquered Palestine-Canaan in 925 BC, followed by Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, and Romans, before the Arab Muslim rule, starting from 636 AD.

By the Time Jesus started his mission, the three population groups of Canaanites, Palestinians, and Israelites were melted together in religion and language. Most of them became Christians when Constantine converted in 313 AD. Then, most of them became Muslims in the 7th and 8th centuries AD.

So, Palestinian Muslims, Christians, and Jews are the ones who have the right to claim descent from ancient Israelites, Palestinians, and Canaanites, not Zionists from other continents.

The following news stories are just examples of the Israeli occupation government violations of Palestinian human rights, on daily basis.

Dozens of Israeli occupation soldiers and police officers invaded, on Sunday morning, the courtyards of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, in occupied East Jerusalem, and attacked the Muslim worshipers, wounding dozens, including one of the civilian guards of the holy site, and detained another.

The soldiers and police were accompanying large groups of illegal colonialist settlers, who were conducting provocative tours in the courtyards of the holy site.

The WAFA Palestinian News Agency has reported that the soldiers and the police stormed the al-Qibli Mosque in Al-Aqsa, desecrating the site with their full military gear, and assaulted many Palestinians while trying to remove them from the holy site.

The police then left the mosque, and the worshipers closed it gates, before dozens gathered in front of it, while chanting and condemning the provocative invasions.

Shortly afterwards, the police attacked and clubbed dozens of worshippers, and tried to remove them to allow more groups of colonists to conduct their tours.

The soldiers also closed Bab al-Asbat and Bab Hotta gates, leading to the holy site, and prevented the Palestinian worshipers from crossing.

Furthermore, the soldiers assaulted and injured one of the guards of Al-Aqsa Mosque, identified as Khalil Tarhouni, causing many cuts and bruises, especially to the head, and prevented the medics from approaching him for more than an hour.

The soldiers also attacked another guard, identified as Essam Najeeb, and summoned him for interrogation at Al-Qashla nearby detention center.

Tension is still mounting due to the extensive military and police presence in the holy site’s compound, especially as more groups of colonists are preparing to invade and tour it, marking the so-called “Jerusalem Day.”

On Saturday evening, the soldiers abducted twenty-six Palestinians, including the secretary of Fateh movement in Jerusalem, and moved them to several detention and interrogation facilities in the city.

Some 400 Israeli settlers, led by American-born rabbi and MK Yehuda Glick, entered the flashpoint compound, one of Islam’s holiest places, early Sunday morning, before police officers scuffled with worshippers who chanted “Allahu Akbar” (God is Greatest), to express their anger at the entry of illegal settlers.

Israeli police physically attacked many of the worshippers, arrested some and chased others through the compound and went as far as the entrance to the southern sealed building, where the worshippers were barricaded, before attacking them with teargas and stun grenades.
