Violence in Jerusalem Leaves Over 20 People Injured Amid Passover Celebrations
18:28 GMT 17.04.2022 (Updated: 19:23 GMT 17.04.2022) The incidents in question occurred during the Jewish Passover, which started on 15 April, and the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, which started on 1 April.
Over 20 Israelis and Palestinians were wounded as a result of several outbreaks of violence in the vicinity of the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem on Sunday, according to AFP.
As the media outlet points out, the result of these clashes puts the number of wounded since Friday, when the Jewish Passover holiday started amid the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, at over 170.
The site, also known as Temple Mount, is regarded as one of the holiest places in both Judaism and Islam, and while Jews are allowed to visit, they are not allowed to pray at the site.
Israeli police reportedly said that their forces entered the mosque compound to "remove" Palestinian demonstrators, "hundreds" of whom were supposedly spotted inside the compound early on Sunday morning gathering stones ahead of the arrival of Jewish visitors.
The Palestinian Red Crescent reportedly said that 19 Palestinians were wounded, with some of them apparently being wounded by "rubber-coated steel bullets".
Meanwhile, Shaare Zedek hospital also said that seven people ended up being treated for light wounds after Palestinian youths threw rocks at passing buses outside the Old City in East Jerusalem, AFP adds.
Some 18 Palestinians were reportedly arrested by the police, while Israel’s Public Security Minister Omer Bar-Lev said that the country would "act strongly against anyone who dares to use terrorism against Israeli citizens."
