Israeli police conducted early on Wednesday, a raid on the al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem, and  arrested over 350 individuals.

At least 12 people were injured during the clashes that took place both inside and around the mosque, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent in Jerusalem. At least three of the wounded were transported to the hospital, some with injuries resulting from rubber bullets.

Videos posted on social media show chaotic scenes of Israeli forces using batons and flashlights to subdue screaming individuals within the darkened mosque.

According to a statement from the Israeli police, the raid was conducted in response to “law-breaking youths and masked agitators” who brought fireworks, sticks, and stones into the mosque.
