Palestinians trapped in Qibli Mosque as Israeli troops seize control

MEE's correspondent at al-Aqsa reports that police are attempting to force everyone out towards the exits with heavy use of tear gas.

Many have been forced to leave already, escaping the crackdown.

Police are stationed in central areas of the complex now, mainly in the courtyard of the Dome of the Rock.

Several worshippers are trapped inside al-Qibli Mosque at the moment and the Israeli forces are trying to clear them out as well.
