JERUSALEM, May, 18, 2014 (WAFA) - Israeli
forces Sunday arrested an elderly Palestinian from inside the courtyards of Al-Aqsa
mosque, according to WAFA correspondent.
One of the mosque’s workers told the
correspondent that small groups of settlers, under the heavy protection of
Israeli police, stormed the mosque from al-Magharbeh gate, provoking worshipers
who chanted religious slogans protesting their entry to the holy site.
He said that police arrested a 60-year-old
worshiper for trying to stop settlers from conducting religious rituals there,
police claimed.
He was taken to a center of
detention and interrogation in the old city of Jerusalem.
