Alwaght- There was tension as the al-Aqsa Mosque on Thursday morning after gangs of Jewish settlers escorted by Israeli regime troops broke into the holy site and cracked down on the peaceful Muslim worshipers.
A PIC news reporter said Israeli hooligans pushed their way through the non-violent Muslim congregation under armed escort.
Israeli regime troops used brutal force against Muslim worshipers who kept chanting “Allah the Greatest” in protest at the sacrilegious break-in.
“Our al-Aqsa shall never turn into a bargaining chip. It is worth our blood and souls,” the Muslim worshippers chanted jointly.
The Muslim worshipers reportedly stood on their guard to the attempts of the Israeli settlers to desecrate the Dome of the Rock.
The Israeli occupation soldiers further kidnapped the female Muslim worshipper Khadija Khweis at the Silsila Gate and dragged her to the Qishleh investigation center, hours after the Israeli regime authorities ruled that she be banned from al-Aqsa for 60 days.
Tensions have been running high at the al-Aqsa Mosque compound over the past few months following regular incursions inside the mosque by hordes of Jewish settlers backed by Israeli regime forces. Israeli authorities are systematically acting to change the identity and character of al-Quds.
Over the past decades, Tel Aviv regime has tried to change the demographic makeup of the holy city by constructing illegal settlements, destroying historical sites, and expelling the local Palestinian population.
Reports say the Israeli regime is planning to build a synagogue in the al-Aqsa Mosque compound as part of its efforts to further Judaize the occupied territories.
