Israeli forces round up 10 Palestinians at Qalqilia checkpoint

Ten Palestinian young men were arrested by the Israeli occupation forces last night at Qalandia checkpoint, at Jerusalem-Ramallah road, according to local sources.

Witnesses told WAFA that the ten young men were on their way back home to the West Bank coming from occupied Jerusalem after performing prayers at the Al-Aqsa Mosque in the city.

The ten were taken to an unknown destination by the Israeli occupation authorities.

Of note, the Islamic Waqf authority in charge of the holy sites in Jerusalem said yesterday that nearly 160,000 worshipers, most of them Palestinians from the West Bank, Jerusalem and Arab towns inside Israel, prayed at the Al-Aqsa Mosque on the fourth Friday of the holy month Ramadan.
