77 Palestinians Injured By Live, Rubber Bullets in 24 Hours
The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) says nearly 80 Palestinians have been injured from live rounds and rubber bullets in clashes with Israeli occupation forces and illegal settlers in the past 24 hours.
The PRCS’s spokeswoman ErrabFoqaha said on Sunday that a total of 77 Palestinians had been wounded in the past day.
According to the data, 18 Palestinians were injured from live rounds and 59 from rubber bullets.
Another 139 Palestinians have also been treated for tear gas inhalation and six for injuries sustained in beatings by Israeli security forces or settlers.
State of emergency
On Sunday, the Red Crescent also declared a level-three state of emergency in the West Bank and East al-Quds (Jerusalem), which indicates that the given situation requires a significant response from a humanitarian system.
It also reported at least 14 attacks against its staff and vehicles by Israeli forces and settlers over the past 72 hours.
Earlier in the day, Israeli police shot dead a Palestinian youth identified as Fadi Samir Mustafa Alloun near the Damascus Gate of al-Aqsa Mosque compound after accusing him of attempting to stab an Israeli settler.
This is while a video showing the moments leading to Alloun’s death show him running toward an Israeli police patrol as a group of settlers are chasing him.
Following Alloun’s killing, tens of Israeli settlers stormed Palestinian homes and properties in the area, shouting anti-Arab and anti-Islam slogans. They also stormed Alloun’s home and reportedly abducted three of his family members.
day earlier, Palestinian sources said two Israelis were killed and two others wounded in a clash between a Palestinian youth named as MohannadRafiqHalab and Israeli settlers in the occupied Old City of al-Quds.
In recent months, Tel Aviv has applied harsh restrictions on entries into the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in East al-Quds since.
Figures show that, on average, 39 Palestinians have been injured by Israeli forces per week since the beginning of the year.
Palestinian Government slams new Israeli ban on al-Quds entry
The Palestinian government has slammed the Israeli regime’s new restrictions on the entry of Palestinian worshipers into al-Aqsa Mosque compound in the Israeli-occupied Old City of al-Quds (Jerusalem) for two days.
“The Palestinian government denounces the Israeli escalation policy by Israeli occupation authorities against our people in occupied Jerusalem and the West Bank,” it said in a statement released on Sunday in reaction to the fresh restrictions.
Earlier in the day, Israeli police announced that only Israelis, tourists, residents of the area, business owners and schoolchildren are allowed to enter the sacred site.
Only Palestinian men aged 50 and above could worship at the al-Aqsa Mosque compound, while Palestinian women of any age would be allowed entry.
The measure was taken after two Israelis were killed and two others wounded during clashes between a Palestinian man and Israeli settlers in al-Quds on Saturday night.
Tensions have been on the rise in the occupied West Bank and al-Quds over the past several days, with Israeli forces attacking Palestinian protesters at the holy site.
Israel has applied sweeping restrictions on entries into al-Aqsa Mosque compound since August 26. The mosque is Islam’s third holiest site after Masjid al-Haram in Mecca and Masjid al-Nabawi in Medina.
