Tensions high by Jewish settlers danced near Al-Aqsa mosque

RELIGIONS NEWS AGENCY (REDNA) – Some Jewish settlers performed provocative dance in front of the Al-Aqsa mosque on last Tuesday evening.

Tensions ran high, The Palestinian Information Centre reports, in Occupied Jerusalem after a group of Jewish settlers performed Talmudic rituals in the Old City and near Al-Aqsa Mosque, .

Large numbers of Israel police forces were deployed in the Old City alleys to protect the settlers’ march.

The Israeli forces also attacked Palestinians near Bab Hatta which led to the outbreak of fistfights. At least one young man was detained during the confrontations.

The Israeli forces also stormed the Wadi Al-Rababa neighbourhood in Silwan and detained two brothers, while a third was rounded up in Al-Ram town.

Along the same line, the Jerusalemite activist, Raeda Saeed was denied entry into the Old City for 15 days, and Al-Aqsa Mosque for 6 months.
