Israeli occupation forces withdrew from the yard of al-Aqsa Mosque, after they failed to drive out Palestinian protesters who have been staging a sit-in in demonstration to an Israeli bill which envisages “application of Israeli occupation sovereignty” over the holy compound, according to al-Manar News.
Palestine Today network reported that 12 Palestinians were injured as occupation forces stormed al-Aqsa Mosque and used stun grenades to disperse the protesters.
Occupation police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld told AFP there was “high tension” in the area surrounding the mosque, ahead of discussions expected in the what is called “Israeli parliament” later Tuesday of a plan to annex the holy site.
