Urgent: Friday prayers in Al-Aqsa Mosque! Intervention with pepper gas…

The third week of Israeli attacks on Gaza has passed. During this period, the number of deaths in the region approached 10,000, and the number of injured more than 20,000. The Palestinians returned to Al-Aqsa Mosque again today to perform Friday prayers. The crowd, which was not allowed by the Israeli police to enter, performed their prayers in the street, as happened in recent weeks.

Interference with pepper gas

In the moments that were reflected in the live broadcast of CNN Turk, the Israeli police were seen firing large amounts of pepper gas at civilians who dispersed after the end of Friday prayers. While it was recorded that many civilians were coughing, journalists also had a difficult time. CNN correspondent Hasret Kaya and photographer Bugra Benlioglu were also affected by the released gas.

The same tariff since the beginning of the war

While the confrontations continued on October 13, the Israeli police intervened by firing tear gas canisters against civilians during the first Friday prayer. “We are now in front of the Lion’s Gate, and a queue has formed,” said Fulya Ozturk, head of special news for CNN Turkey, who was in the area. The police select people selectively. The body is currently being searched. There are also police on the walls. This place was supposed to be incredibly crowded, but it’s so quiet. Is this calm due to obstacles? Israeli police talk to people and let them in. He added, “The number of police forces in the region is increasing, and there are reinforcement mechanisms in the region.”

On October 20, Israel announced that it had set a maximum age for entry into Al-Aqsa Mosque. During Friday prayers, Israel again intervened against civilians with gas and Touma gas.

Last week, the Israeli police intervened against civilians, using force from time to time. Journalists are prevented from presenting news.
