Israeli police fought their way into Jerusalem’s flashpoint al-Aqsa mosque Sunday to root out Palestinian protesters suspected of stockpiling fireworks and petrol bombs in preparation for a riot, police said, according to Agence France-Presse.
“Masked rioters fled into the mosque and started to throw stones and blocks at police from inside al-Aqsa mosque. They threw fireworks directly at police,” a statement said, adding that a number of police were wounded.
“In light of the severe confrontation and the escalating actions of the rioters and with the aim of preventing further injury to police… force entered a number of metres (yards) inside and closed the doors to the mosque with the rioters inside, restoring order.”
