Israeli forces attack British Muslims at al-Aqsa mosque
A group of British Muslims visiting Al-Aqsa Mosque in East Jerusalem report being forcefully removed and assaulted by Israeli forces.
Witnesses recount being targeted during prayers at the Bab al-Rahma prayer hall, with accounts of physical violence including being dragged, kicked, and intimidated.
British nationals Raz Ahmed, Ismail Hasan, and Syed Ibrahim say they were inside Al-Aqsa compound on the left side of the Dome of the Rock.
They said when they began praying, a man came and pulled them with force.
Drawing attention to the fact that Muslims have not been able to worship freely in Palestine, Ahmed said Palestinians are facing such a situation every day.
He said there is an open apartheid system being practiced in Israel.
UK-based advocacy group CAGE condemned the incident and urged British authorities to take note of it.
