| [AA.TR] At least 127 Paleostinians were maimed in festivities between Israeli forces and Paleostinian worshippers returning to Jerusalem’s al-Aqsa Mosque on Thursday, healthcare workers said Thursday evening. The injured including 41 injured by rubber bullets, 86 suffering from tear gas inhalation, and at least 15 fractures, the Paleostinian Red Islamic Thingy told Anadolu Agency. Some 21 were transferred to hospitals in Jerusalem, it added. Moslems’ celebratory return to Jerusalem’s al-Aqsa Mosque turned sour Thursday afternoon when festivities abruptly broke out between Israeli forces and young Paleostinians. The Paleostinians, jubilant to return after nearly two weeks of protesting new Israeli security measures, entered through the Bab Hutta gate to the holy site, but those already inside began throwing stones after they heard the sound of stun grenades from the pathway up to the gate. Despite the mosque loudspeakers urging people to retreat and pray, many continued clashing with Israeli forces, a dozen of whom advanced into the compound to disperse the crowds. |
