HAIFA, Monday, April 18, 2022 (WAFA) – Dozens of Palestinian citizens of Israel last night rallied in solidarity with Al-Aqsa Mosque in Haifa city.

Scores of the Palestinian residents of the city gathered at Prisoner’s Square close to the German Colony to condemn Israeli attacks against worshippers at Jerusalem’s flashpoint Al-Aqsa Mosque compound and settler intrusions into the site.

The participants in the rally shouted slogans condemning apartheid Israel and stressing the importance of liberation and justice for the Palestinian people and condemning attacks.

Heavily-armed police and special units were deployed close to the rally and made few arrests.

Palestinians have been rallying against Israeli escalation and attacks since the start of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, including police crackdown on Palestinian worshippers in Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa Mosque, encroachments upon the mosque compound, and the killing of seven Palestinians in the West Bank since Wednesday.
