Report: Escalation Targeting Worshipers in Al-Aqsa last month
“Ciobrs” center presented a new statistical in which they documented violations of the occupation forces and settlers in Al-Aqsa Mosque and its surroundings in the month of June 2015. Since the beginning of this year until the end of the month of June 180 worshipers at Al-Aqsa Mosque have been arrested; the majority of these arrests led to exclusion from Al-Aqsa for periods ranging from two weeks to three months, including 3 exclusions for 2 men and a woman from occupied territories in 48 orders away from the Old City walls. In a related context, tension and charged atmosphere increased in Al-Aqsa Mosque last month after repeated attempts of the occupation forces and settlers to abuse women within the walls of Al-Aqsa Mosque, which prompted Al-Aqsa guards and worshipers to face them and resulted in arrest campgins for worshippers. This escalation came despite a decline in the number of intruders into Al-Aqsa Mosque, which amounted to 738 last month compared to the number of settlers who stormed Al Aqsa last May which amounted to 1128. This is due the influx of thousands of worshipers on a daily basis during the holy month of Ramadan, which foced the occupation to reduce their numbers and close Al Mughrabi Gate after noon prayers. In a related context, 162 soldiers and an occupation officer, putting on their army military uniforms, and 57 intelligence component of the occupation stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque last month, in addition to 243 Israeli university students who broke into Al –Aqsa over the month in the form of population groups ranged between 25 to 50 students.
