Palestine ??, May 8: Masjid al-Aqsa has been transformed into a deadly battlezone tonight.
As worshippers performed Taraweeh Salaah, Israeli Occupation forces stormed the Masjid and rained down sound bombs, tear gas and rubber bullets on worshippers.
Over 50 musallees have been injured including children.
This attack has occurred on the 26th night of Ramadan in Palestine. Salaah continued to be led amidst chaotic scenes.
Rubble has been seen strewn across the affected areas of the Masjid and paramedics were seen scurrying to assist the injured.
In a further development, Israeli forces stormed the sound room at Masjid al-Aqsa and disconnected the wires for speakers such that announcements from the Qibli Musallah do not reach other parts of the Masjid.
In addition to the actions at al-Aqsa, the situation is volatile in the Old City and Sheikh Jarrah as well. Israeli forces are restricting entry to the Old City to residents.
This is a developing story and the situation is grave.
