Israeli police engaged in an incident involving a group of journalists outside the Old City of Jerusalem. This action included an attack on the reporters, resulting in an injury to a CNN producer’s wrist. Furthermore, the police damaged photographic equipment and confiscated recordings.
The situation unfolded on Tuesday, coinciding with Muslim worshippers’ attempts to pray. These individuals had been barred from accessing the Al-Aqsa Mosque due to ongoing wartime restrictions. They gathered outside the Old City walls, seeking to perform their religious duties.
However, the Israeli police obstructed their worship, pushing them further away. The worshippers subsequently moved to a street near Wadi Al Joz to continue their prayers. Subsequently, the police relocated them again to a position close to the Old City walls.
Shortly after, officers deployed flash grenades towards the assembled group. During this confrontation, two journalists were detained by the police. It was clear that their actions were directly related to the disruption of the worshippers’ attempts to observe their faith.
The Israeli police were involved in this complex and tense exchange.
