According to the information received from the eyewitnesses, the plain-clothes Israeli forces, known as “mustaribin” and hiding among the Palestinians, struck two Palestinians in the Damascus Gate area and detained them.
Israeli forces also detained two Palestinians in the Qibla Masjid inside the Masjid al-Aqsa and beat some of them.
Before the people in question were detained, hundreds of Palestinians gathered in the Damascus Gate area of the Old City as part of the Ramadan celebrations.
No statement was made by Israel on the matter.
