OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)– Israeli police forces closed Bab Al-Amud gate, one of the most famous of occupied Jerusalem’s Old City, to coincide with closing the Aqsa Mosque on those inside after midnight Sunday.

The occupation police said the measure was taken after an officer was stabbed during the massive night march staged in the holy city starting from Bab Al-Amud protesting the Israeli aggression on Gaza and chanting anti-occupation slogans.

The Israeli policemen arrested a number of young protestors and assaulted Palestinian medical teams and ambulance crews.

Additional forces were sent to the area that broke into and searched homes in Bab Al-Amud.

Aqsa guards said that policemen barged into the mosque’s plazas amidst provocation to 1500 worshipers remaining inside the holy site.

The occupation forces had blocked worshipers from heading to the Asr (afternoon) prayers in the Aqsa Mosque on Sunday and beat up those protesting the step.

How many more dead corpses of Palestinians does the international community need to see in order to act? How many more cruelties and violations of Human Rights, Regulations and International Law will be needed to intervene so this ongoing warcrime is being stopped once and for all?
