(MENAFN)The Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) slammed Israel’s violence against worshippers at the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem.
Scores of worshippers, including men, women and children, were wounded at a mosque that is considered one of Islam’s holiest sites in the holy month of Ramadan.
Israeli forces fired stun grenades, tear gas, and rubber-coated bullets to scatter Muslim worshippers from the mosque, the world’s third-holiest site for Muslims.
The group added that “The violence comes amidst illegal efforts to evict Palestinians from their homes in the Sheikh Jarrah area.”
