Jerusalem, (IINA) - Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) assaulted on Sunday a group of Palestinian women who attempted to enter Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem. The incident happened after the women were denied entry to the holy site, WAFA reported citing media sources.
Around 40 women who were organizing a peaceful protest at Al-Silsila Gate which leads to the compound were assaulted by the IOF and forced to go away. The women were protesting against the IOF denying them entry to the holy site.
For two weeks now, IOF has been imposing strict restrictions on the entry of Muslim worshipers, especially women, to the holy site, particularly during the morning hours until 11:00 pm.
Analysts have recently accused Israel of actually starting a temporal division of the Mosque between Muslims and Jews.
It’s noteworthy that on August 31, the Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that it had sent letters to Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Iyad Madani Secretary General of the Arab League Nabil El-Araby, the United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, and Jordan’s Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh, calling for an emergency Islamic summit to examine the latest Israeli escalation at the Mosque.
