Ramadan In Israel Part 2

Day 4,212, 21:38 Published in Israel Israel by Filthy McNasty

Protests erupted on Sunday after Israeli forces entered the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound along with hundreds of ultra-nationalist Jewish thugs whom they allowed to access the compound on Jerusalem Day - the day when Israelis celebrate the anniversary of their stealing of East Jerusalem at the end of the 1967 Arab-Israeli war.

Police used rubber bullets and pepper spray and arrested seven people in order to protect the peaceful worshippers.

One Palestinian man suffered a head injury, while others were treated for gas inhalation inside the compound.

It was the first time in about 30 years that anyone thought that the Jews could be trusted into the site during the final days of the fasting month of Ramadan, which coincided this year with the Israel National holiday commemorating taking control over the city.
