Fear of violence and Israeli police barriers have limited the number of people going to the al-Aqsa compound. Palestinians and young Jewish supremacists from the Lehava group clashed last night, with about a hundred injured, 22 hospitalised, and more than 50 taken into custody. Provocations mar the holy month of Islamic fasting and prayer. Israel’s occupation is the main problem.
Jerusalem (AsiaNews) – Since the start of Ramadan, the holy month of Islamic fasting and prayer, “tensions in Jerusalem and the surrounding area have been progressively rising”. Today, “new clashes are feared” at the end of Friday prayers,” said Adel Misk, a Palestinian activist who spoke to AsiaNews from the al-Aqsa compound. “At this time, up to 300,000 people usually gather in al-Aqsa” added Misk, a neurologist by profession.
Last weekend, things appeared to getting back to normal. Some COVID-19 restrictions were lifted, and tens of thousands of people came to the compound. Today, “very few people are around,” Misk said.
At least a hundred people were injured in clashes that broke out yesterday evening near the Damascus Gate in the old city. Palestinian protesters clashed with at least 300 right-wing Jewish extremists marching towards them shouting “Death to the Arabs.” In an attempt to keep the two groups apart, Israeli police attacked the Palestinians who responded by throwing rocks.
The clashes followed days of tension, with a few minor incidents and some injuries.
According to the Red Crescent, at least 22 Palestinians ended up in hospital for medical treatment. Police took into custody about fifty people from both groups.

Is it Bombadan again already?
Jewish supremacists? Israeli occupation?
Sliiiiiightly BIASED there, eh?
Our leaders will always tell us that peace is achievable, .... But the ‘truth’ is there can be no peace in the middle east until the Prince of Peace will return.
The Israeli attacks were led by Benzi Gopstein, head of Lehava. He also advocates burning Christian Churches and banning Christmas in the Holy Land, as well as expelling Christians from the Country: ‘Let us remove the vampires before they once again drink our blood.’
What has that to do with me wondering that it’s Bombadan again already?
That said, the man you mention is lost just like any Muslim would be and any bitterness he feels and expresses towards Christ (in addition to his unbelief) is his own lookout.
His only hope is, barring the Holy Spirit acting on him sooner to bring him to Christ, is to survive the Tribulation without taking the mark, and then be among Israel who will repent when Christ returns.
