Israeli Forces Raid Al-Aqsa Mosque for Second Time in Three Days

HeadlineApr 18, 2022

On Sunday Israeli forces raided the Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied East Jerusalem for the second time in three days, clearing worshipers from the third-holiest site in Islam. Nineteen Palestinians were injured Sunday, some of them hit by rubber-coated steel bullets. Over 150 Palestinians were arrested in another raid on the mosque on Friday. To protest Israel’s violent crackdown, the United Arab List political party has suspended its participation in Israel’s coalition government led by Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, who had already lost his majority last week. We’ll go to Jerusalem after headlines.
