Over 50 Muslim worshipers were reportedly wounded by Israeli forces in Eastern Jerusalem, Thursday, during the nonstop protest against the recent installment of metal detectors at the gates of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Three protesters were reported to have suffered serious injuries, with one requiring surgery.

The demonstration continues following a call from Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ party, Fatah, for a ‘Day of Rage’ following the increase in security in the area of the Al-Aqsa mosque, which includes security cameras and metal detectors, as a result of a shoot-out last Friday that resulted in killing two Israeli police officers and three Palestinians .
