180 Palestinians hurt, one critical: Medics

The Palestinian Red Crescent has reported 180 Palestinians wounded by Israeli forces.

So far, 80 of those have been taken to hospitals in Jerusalem, including a field hospital the Red Crescent set up near al-Aqsa.

One was in critical condition, the Red Crescent said, adding its own medics have also been hurt in the mayhem.

Israel, meanwhile, has said nine of its policemen were hurt as they violently stormed the mosque complex.

Palestinian medics have said Israeli forces were targeting Palestinians in the head and eyes.
