Israeli police have raided the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied East Jerusalem, with medics reporting at least 152 Palestinians injured in the ensuing violence as hundreds were detained.

 

The Islamic endowment that runs the site said Israeli police entered in force before dawn on Friday, as thousands of worshippers were gathered at the mosque for early morning prayers.

 

Videos circulating online showed Palestinians throwing rocks and police firing tear gas and stun grenades. Others showed worshippers barricading themselves inside the mosque amid what appeared to be clouds of tear gas.

 

The Palestinian Red Crescent emergency service said it evacuated the majority of the wounded to hospitals. The endowment said one of the guards at the site was shot in the eye with a rubber bullet.

 

The Palestinian Red Crescent added that Israeli forces had hindered the arrival of ambulances and paramedics to the mosque, as Palestinian media said dozens of injured worshippers remained trapped inside the compound.

 

Israeli police said they arrested at least 300 Palestinians during the latest escalation. However, Palestinian sources put the number at 400.

There’s a non-zero amount of Christians that need Israel to exist on a map because otherwise their allegedly omniscient and omnipotent god won’t be able to put in the GPS coordinates for the second coming, but otherwise, yea.
