Israeli police today shot two journalists and a child as they cracked down on a rally at Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa Mosque, according to the Palestinian news agency WAFA.
Local sources told WAFA that Israeli forces barged their way into the mosque compound and violently quelled a Palestinian protest in support of the Prophet Muhammad, which had been called in response to the insults directed at him during a Jewish settler march through occupied East Jerusalem on Tuesday.
