Beth: A Geneva-based Human Rights Observatory said that its team documented the abduction of a number of wounded by Israeli forces while trying to transfer them from inside Al-Aqsa Mosque to nearby hospitals for treatment, in addition to severely beating a paramedic in the mosque's yards.

 

The Euro-Med Monitor said that for more than a week, Israeli forces have been carrying out systematic attacks against Palestinians in East Al-Quds, especially in the "Sheikh Jarrah" neighborhood, which is threatened with eviction, resulting in the injury of hundreds of Palestinians with rubber bullets and tear gas canisters, severe beatings by Israeli forces, and the arrest of dozens of others. .

 

At dawn on Monday, the Israeli forces escalated their aggressive movements in Al-Quds, stormed in large numbers the squares of Al-Aqsa Mosque (the third holiest place for Muslims in the world), surrounded hundreds of worshipers inside the mosque and showered them with gas and sound bombs, wounding hundreds of them.

 He believes that the escalation of Israeli attacks inAl-Quds is part of a long-term policy to change the status quo in the city, displace the Palestinian population, replace Israeli settlers, and swallow more of the city’s lands in favor of illegal settlement projects.

 

The Observatory affirmed: What is required of the Security Council in its meeting held today to discuss the situation in Al-Quds is a decisive position that protects the right of Muslims to freedom of worship, condemns the violent Israeli attacks on the Palestinians, and affirms the necessity of obligating Israel to preserve the status quo in Jerusalem and not prejudice the religious status For Islamic sanctuaries in Medina.
