Israeli occupation police and special security forces fired rubber-coated bullets and gas canisters in abundance to quell Palestinian worshippers in the Aqsa Mosque who tried to obstruct a tour of the holy site by tens of Jewish fanatics.
Eyewitnesses reported that large numbers of Israeli policemen escorted 150 Jews but were confronted by the Palestinians.
Sources told the PIC that the clashes were witnessing ups and downs during the day as the Israeli occupation authority ordered closure of the Aqsa Mosque before worshipers less than 50 years old after many of them headed to the Mosque to defend it.
The witnesses said that 15 Palestinians were wounded with Israeli police bullets, and added that Sheikh Abdul Atheem Salhab, the head of the Awkaf council in Jerusalem was beaten by policemen while entering the Mosque through the Asbat gate.
