Violence Erupts at Al-Aqsa Mosque Between Israeli Police and Palestinian Worshippers

Israeli police attacked dozens of worshippers in Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, injuring seven people. The raid took place before dawn on Wednesday, with Israeli police claiming they were responding to "rioting." Palestinian groups condemned the latest attacks on worshippers, which they described as a crime. Tension has already been high in occupied East Jerusalem and West Bank for months, and there are fears of further violence as important religious festivals converge.
