Israeli forces arrest Palestinians inside Al-Aqsa compound

JERUSALEM — Israeli forces on Thursday arrested two Palestinians from inside the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in East Jerusalem.

Ibrahim Abu Araarh, 50, and Jamal Al-Natsheh, 46, were arrested from inside the compound, mosque guard Otham Abu Gharbiyeh told AA.


According to the mosque guard, the pair was detained as religious students were trying to prevent 25 Jewish settlers from storming the compound through Al-Mugharbi Gate.

In recent months, groups of extremist Jewish settlers, often accompanied by Israeli security forces, have repeatedly forced their way into the Al-Aqsa complex. The frequent violations anger Palestinian Muslims and occasionally lead to violent confrontations.
For Muslims, Al-Aqsa represents the world's third holiest site. Jews, for their part, refer to the area as the "Temple Mount," claiming it was the site of two prominent Jewish temples in ancient times.

Israel occupied East Jerusalem during the 1967 Middle East War. It later annexed the holy city in 1980, claiming it as the capital of the self-proclaimed Jewish state in a move never recognized by the international community.

12 arrested in West Bank

Israeli military forces detained 12 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank in the early hours of Thursday.

Israel Radio said the Israeli army had raided different parts of the West Bank to arrest people wanted by security forces.
Israeli forces routinely launch raids across the West Bank, claiming they are hunting for "wanted" Palestinians.

According to a recent report by the Prisoners Center for Studies and Research, a Palestinian NGO, roughly 5000 Palestinians continue to languish in Israeli jails.
