2022 Al-Aqsa Mosque storming

On 15 April 2022, Israeli forces stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque using tear gas shells

and stun grenades in order to stop Palestinians from throwing rocks at police officers.^{[5][6][7][8][9]} 

The Al-Aqsa compound is under the custodianship of Jordan 

and administered by the Jerusalem Islamic Waqf.

Palestinians believe that Israel is trying

to change the status quo in various ways,

for example,

by allowing Jews to pray in the Temple Mount.^[10][11][12]

According to the Islamic waqf authorities, t

he Israeli incursion began before dawn prayers.

The Israeli Foreign Ministry stated

that their police were intent

both on seizing rocks and stones,

which they say Palestinians

had in turn stockpiled in anticipation of violence,

and to disperse the crowd.^[8] 

According to Ynet news

, the police entered after Ramadan morning prayer

to break up stone-throwing

in the direction of the Western Wall.

^[13] Al Jazeera reported that Israeli soldiers

also “climbed on the roofs

of buildings surrounding Al-Aqsa Mosque”,

evacuated the courtyard

and closed most of the doors leading

to the compound.^[14]

Over the course of the armed police raid,

around 160 Palestinians were injured

, including a waqf guard shot in the eye

with a rubber bullet,^[8] 

4 women, 27 children, and one journalist.

Approximately 400 people were arrested;

the majority of them were released later that day.^[9][15] 

Three Israeli police officers were also wounded.^[9][4] 

Concerns were raised

about possible excessive use of force by Israeli force
