Five Muslims are reportedly injured in clashes with police near Jerusalem’s Temple Mount, during protests against the new security measures that are being imposed at the holy site, in the wake of Friday’s deadly terror attack.
The Palestinian Red Crescent tells the Wafa news agency that 5 protesters were injured at confrontations near Lion’s Gate, including Palestinian National Initiative Chairman, Dr. Mustafa Barghouti.
The report says three were injured after being beaten by police, one was injured by a stun grenade, and that Barghouti was hit in the head with a rubber-coated bullet.
Earlier, a police statement said dozens of protesters had blocked the road outside Lion’s Gate, and were throwing rocks at the officers who were called to disperse the demonstration.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
