Over 200 Palestinians injured in clashes with Zionist police in Al-Aqsa mosque

Zionist regime’s police burst into the Al-Aqsa mosque compound on Friday evening and widespread clashes with Palestinians in Al-Quds spread to the holy site following prayers held there on the last Friday of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

Zionist regime’s Police said 17 police officers were hurt and around half of those hospitalized, with one in moderate condition after taking a rock to the head.

Meanwhile the Palestinian Red Crescent reported that at least 205 Palestinians were wounded in clashes throughout Al-Quds, mostly around the Al-Aqsa mosque and by Damascus Gate.

Eighty-eight Palestinians were hospitalized, mostly for injuries with rubber-coated steel bullets, it said.

Protesters chanted “Allahu Akbar,” or “God is great.” Several wounded demonstrators could be seen being carried away on stretchers.

Most of the Palestinians hospitalized were being treated at Al-Makassed Hospital in East Al-Quds. The hospital was urgently calling for people to come and donate blood.

Demonstrators had called for more people to try and reach the compound, but police blocked roads leading to the site.

Footage on social media appeared to show Zionist regime’s police officers on the roof of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
