The governorate says Mohammad Nidal Abu Libdeh, a young Palestinian man, was shot and left bleeding by the Israeli forces at the entrance to the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, Al Jazeera reports, citing the Wafa news agency.
Israeli forces have since raided the victim’s home in the Beit Hanina neighbourhood of occupied East Jerusalem, and attacked and arrested some local Palestinian people in the area, according to Wafa.
The Israeli forces also closed the gates of Al-Aqsa Mosque, and detained the worshippers inside for some time, before reopening the Lions’ Gate and attacking people as they exited, Wafa added.
