RESTRICTION SUMMARY: APAwire CLIENTS ONLY SHOTLIST: APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Jerusalem- 17 April 2022. Israeli security forces clash with Palestinian demonstrators at the Al-Aqsa mosque compound in Jerusalem STORYLINE: Dozens of Muslim worshipers were arrested or hurt on Sunday early morning as Israeli forces embarked on yet a fresh raid on the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem, according to local sources. The latest raid, which is the second in less than 48 hours, came amid calls by extremist Israeli Jewish organizations urging fans for a mass provocative visit to the mosque during the Passover holiday, which coincides with the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, a time when thousands of Muslims, predominantly Palestinians, usually stay at the holy site for worship day and night. The Palestinian Red Crescent said its medics treated at least 10 injuries following the Israeli raid on the holy site, of whom three were admitted to hospital. WAFA correspondent also said that the attacking forces chased the worshipers and fired stun grenades and teargas randomly to empty the holy site of its Muslim worshipers in order to secure the entry of Israeli Jewish settlers wishing to celebrate Passover inside the courtyards of the mosque. At least three arrests were reported among the Palestinian worshipers, said WAFA correspondent. Groups of Jewish settlers entered the holy site in the aftermath of the attack and performed provocative tours and Talmudic rituals, while Palestinians who were forced out of the holy site tried to block the alleys used by the settlers in their way to the holy site. The attack came despite that a first such attack on early Friday morning was met by statements of condemnation by world, United Nations and European Union leaders. Footage by APAwire
