Occupation Forces, Palestinian Worshippers Clash in al-Aqsa Mosque

International

Fresh clashes have erupted between Israeli occupation forces and Palestinian worshippers after the Israelis entered the al-Aqsa Mosque in East al-Quds (Jerusalem) in the occupied West Bank, Press T.V reported.

At least 20 people were reportedly injured in clashes on Wednesday after the Israeli occupation forces fired plastic bullets and tear gas and threw grenades at the Palestinian worshippers in the al-Aqsa Mosque compound to disperse them.

 

Israeli forces set up barriers in front of all of the compound’s gates to prevent Palestinian worshippers from entering the mosque.

The mosque, widely revered by Muslims, has been the scene of clashes between Palestinians and Israeli settlers and troops in recent weeks.

Palestinians say Tel Aviv is planning to change the status quo and Judaize al-Quds.

 

Israel committed war crimes in Gaza – Amnesty International

On the other hand,Amnesty International saidthat the Israeli military’s killing of hundreds of Palestinian civilians during its summer 2014 military aggression against the Gaza Strip amounts to war crimes.

“It appears that the attacks directly and deliberately targeted civilians or civilian objects, which would constitute war crimes,” the London-based rights group said in a new report on Wednesday.

It said it has examined eight cases in which Israeli airstrikes targeted homes in Gaza “without warning.”

“Israeli forces have brazenly flouted the laws of war by carrying out a series of attacks on civilian homes, displaying callous indifference to the carnage caused,” Philip Luther, Director of the Middle East and North Africa Program at Amnesty International, said.

“The report exposes a pattern of attacks on civilian homes by Israeli forces which have shown a shocking disregard for the lives of Palestinian civilians, who were given no warning and had no chance to flee,” he added.

The report has found that in all of these cases, there was either no military objective or the civilian toll was out of all proportion to any military action.

Amnesty claimed that Palestinian resistance movement Hamas fighters used civilian facilities to respond to Israel’s attacks.

It emphasized that regardless of the intended targets, these attacks should have been avoided.
