The guardians of The Aqsa mosque said that the situation is nervous, after the successive storming in campaigns and restrictions upon the worshippers entrance into the mosque.
Al-Aqsa mosque witnesses daily assaults by Israeli army and settlers. Last Sunday, the mosque was attacked and worshippers were denied access into the mosque. Soldiers threw teargas bombs the assault resulted in the injury of 15 worshippers by black metal.
Background information:
The compound, Israel claims is located just above the Western Wall plaza, and houses both the Dome of the Rock and The Aqsa mosque (the third holiest site in Islam). It is venerated as Judaism's most holy place as it sits above the site where Jews believe the First and Second Temples once stood.
