How the Israeli police raid on the Jerusalem’s al-Aqsa Mosque has alarmed the world

Firstpost  

Images of Israeli security forces beating people at the mosque shocked and outraged the world, particularly because they occurred during a time of year that is sacred to Jews, Christians, and Muslims and is supposed to be a time of peace Jerusalem: Global criticism and concern mounted Wednesday after Israeli police clashed with Palestinians inside Islam’s third-holiest site, sparking a military exchange of rockets and air strikes, with fears of further escalation. Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan, whose country and Israel have been rebuilding ties, said: “Trampling on the al-Aqsa Mosque is our red line.” Later on Wednesday, Israeli police said “dozens of law-breaking juveniles, some of them masked, threw fireworks and stones” into the mosque and tried again to barricade themselves in as worshippers gathered for evening prayers. Palestinian witness Abdel Karim Ikraiem, 74, said Israeli police armed with batons, tear gas grenades and smoke bombs burst into the mosque “by force” and “beat the women and men” worshipping there early Wednesday. Within hours of the first clashes at al-Aqsa Mosque, at least nine rockets were fired from Gaza towards Israel, the army said, adding that “in response” warplanes struck two suspected Hamas weapons-manufacturing sites. ‘Repercussions’ Palestinian civil affairs minister Hussein al-Sheikh condemned the Israeli police action inside al-Aqsa, saying “the level of brutality requires urgent Palestinian, Arab and international action”.
