Dozens of Jerusalemite youths engaged in violent confrontations with Israeli occupation forces in a number of suburbs in occupied Jerusalem at dawn Thursday.
Eyewitnesses said that the confrontations flared after Jewish settlers and policemen stormed the holy Aqsa mosque, forced out worshippers, and arrested a religious scholar for refusing to get out of the mosque.
The Israeli occupation authority has allowed Jewish settlers to intensify their desecration of the Aqsa mosque during the holy fasting month of Ramadan under heavy security protection.
