STORYLINE:

A large Israeli police force this morning broke into the Muslim holy place, Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem’s Old City in order to remove Muslim worshippers and provide a safe ground for Jewish fanatics seeking to change the decades-old status quo at the holy site and to roam the area freely as they mark the Jewish New Year amidst warning by Palestinian officials of serious repercussions if the status quo at the Mosque is touched.

Officials at the Islamic Waqf, which oversees the affairs of Al-Aqsa Mosque, said police broke into the courtyards of the walled holy site, attacked Muslim worshippers who were there to perform the dawn prayers and forced them to leave the area as Jewish fanatics gathered outside the Magharbe Gate in preparation for entering the Muslim holy place under police protection.

Tension however remains high in the holy city with Israel bringing reinforcements into the occupied city and calling on the Israeli public to carry weapons at all times as they celebrate the Jewish holidays.
