Ramallah, May 10 (Prensa Latina) The attack by Israeli police officers against the Al-Aqsa Mosque is a heinous crime, Palestinian Civil Affairs Minister Hussein Al-Sheikh posted on Twitter on Monday.
A large contingent of Israeli agents entered the mosque, located in East Jerusalem, one of the third holiest site in Islam, and attacked with rubber-coated bullets the Palestinian worshippers who were praying there, according to witnesses quoted by WAFA news agency.
The attack to the Al-Aqsa Mosque is a crime by the Israeli occupiers and the Palestinian leadership is examining all options to respond to this horrible aggression, announced the minister, who is also a member of the Fatah Central Committee, the largest Palestinian resistance organization.
