Israeli forces clashed with Palestinian worshippers at the Bab as-Silsila entrance to the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied East Jerusalem on Sunday, escalating tensions in the region, as confirmed by local sources.
The Israeli forces had imposed stringent security measures, leading to the removal of Palestinian worshippers from the Al-Aqsa Mosque area. Their presence was intensified around the compound, effectively denying access to any Palestinian worshippers below the age of 50. This move aimed to facilitate the entry of Israeli settlers marking Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year.
