Israeli police have attacked the al-Aqsa Mosque forcing Muslim worshipers out of the holy site, local media reported.

The Israeli forces have reportedly stormed the Qibli Masjid and attacked the worshipers who were performing prayers.
 
Palestinians attempted to prevent police entry by closing the doors of the Masjid.
 
Special and female police forces were deployed in the Mosque to carry out the attack, the sources added.
 
Hazem Qassem, the spokesman of Palestinian resistance movement,Hamas, had earlier said that the Israeli attack against the Palestinian worshipers at the Aqsa Mosque constitutes a grave violation.
 
In a press statement on Sunday, spokesman Qassem said that assaulting Muslim worshipers at the Al-Qibli Masjid at the Aqsa Mosque reflects terrorist Israeli policies.
