Israeli police clashed with Palestinians inside the al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem's Old City, just days after a Palestinian man was killed outside the holy site.
Israeli police stormed the al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem’s Old City early Wednesday and arrested more than 350 people, just days after a Palestinian man was killed outside the holy site. Violent scenes inside the mosque shared on social media show Israeli forces waving flashlights and appearing to strike screaming people with batons inside the darkened building. Eyewitnesses told CNN that police smashed doors and windows, and fired stun grenades and rubber bullets.
Over the last two weeks, there have been calls by Jewish extremist groups to slaughter goats at the compound as part of an ancient Passover holiday ritual that is no longer practiced by most Jews. A greater number of Muslim worshipers stayed in the mosque after calls came to prevent those attempts from happening. The clashes come days after a Palestinian man was shot and killed by Israeli police at the entrance of the mosque on Saturday.
