    While tens of thousands of Muslim worshipers were praying in the al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem Sunday for Eid al-Adha, one of the most sacred holidays in the Muslim year, Israeli forces attacked the mosque, forcing the worshipers to flee in panic.

    The Israeli forces were accompanied by a large group of right-wing Israeli Jewish settlers, many of whom are part of an ideological network whose express aim is to destroy the mosque and replace it with a Jewish temple.

    This provocation against the mosque on one of the most sacred holidays of Islam is just the latest in a series of provocations conducted by Israeli authorities against the mosque, its staff and its worshipers in recent months.

      Israeli soldiers invaded, on Sunday afternoon, the courtyards of the Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied East Jerusalem, and injured several Palestinians, including a volunteer medic, in addition to abducting three others.

      Media sources said the soldiers assaulted many worshipers in al-Aqsa and hurled a concussion grenade at a medic trying to provide them with medical treatment, wounding him in the arm.

      The sources added that the soldiers abducted three young men, one of them has been identified as Mo’ab Abu Khdeir, 22, who was also assaulted and injured, while they were in the courtyard near the Dome of the Rock.

      It is worth mentioning that the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) earlier reported that its medics provided treatment to 37 Palestinians, including 14 who were moved to the al-Makassed hospital, after the soldiers assaulted them, and fired gas bombs and concussion grenades at them, earlier Sunday.
