Dozens wounded by Israeli forces, say religious authorities

Exact numbers of casualties are not yet available, but the Red Crescent is already treating wounded Palestinians. Religious authorities said dozens are wounded.

Video footage from inside al-Aqsa's Qibli Mosque shows vast plumes of tear gas as Israeli forces raid one of the holiest sites in Islam during the holy month of Ramadan.

The Israelis also raided the mosque on Friday night, in scenes that were condemned worldwide.

This morning, the Israelis have seized the al-Aqsa Mosque's audio control room, hampering the Palestinians' ability to safely coordinate.

MEE's correspondent in al-Aqsa Mosque reports that many Palestinians have been forced to flee because of the heavy use of tear gas.
