Ambulances were blocked from getting to the injured in the storming of #AlAqsa
& East #Jerusalem
A violation of International Humanitarian Law
More than 200 people injured most with head and eye injuries according to #Palestinian #RedCross @PalestineRCS https://twitter.com/palestinercs/status/1390758547743559680?s=21

Children completely terrified.
What an horrific ordeal for the young and innocent
They went to pray & celebrate the last Friday of #Ramadan

For context #AlAqsa mosque is #Islam’s first holy site #HaramSharif & Muslims used to pray facing it #Jerusalem until changed to #Kabba in #Mecca
Imagine security forces closing off access to or storming the #Vatican at Easter or indeed the #Church of the #HolySepulchre

Arab-Israeli MP aka #Knesset Member @Ahmad_tibi tweets
“Muslims pray in the mosque plaza. Why fire stun grenades at them? Why?”

Dismay with US #statedept statement about “both sides” & “confrontations” - a false equivalence of power & might
“There is no excuse for violence, but such bloodshed is especially disturbing now, coming as it does on the last days of Ramadan”
