Attack on worshiper in AL-Aqsa Mosque. Israeli forces stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque and brutally attack dozens of Palestinian worshipers in occupied East Jerusalem on Tuesday night.
The raid at Al-Aqsa started around 10 pm local time when heavily armed police officers were first spotted entering the site earlier firing tear gas and floor bombs into the Qibli prayer hall – the building with the silver dome – where hundreds of men, women, and old people, and children were staying overnight to pray.
The worshiper forcefully removed from the site where they were peacefully observing the holy month of Ramadan.

Videos from inside the Al-Aqsa Mosque showed Israeli officers continuously hitting people with batons although they look to lie on the floor.
The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said it received dual reports of injuries at Al-Aqsa Mosque. But has not been able to calculate the number of victim. As Israeli forces keep to block medics from reaching the wounded.
Succeeding the incident, hundreds of Palestinians took to the streets to condemn the attack and encounter Israeli troops at checkpoints and army posts. Rallies also took place in Gaza, Umm al-Fahm (a Palestinian town in Israel), and the Jordanian capital Amman.
