At the time the Israeli occupation was providing protection for the settlers, they obstructed the Palestinian's freedom of movement within Al-Aqsa.
The forces arrested a young Palestinian for Takbirs he was making as the Israeli settlers were storming the mosque.

The Israeli occupation forces had launched an arrest campaign in Al-Aqsa that targeted even the children of Al-Quds as the Israeli occupation soldiers waited for a child outside his school in At-Tur and subsequently arrested him. The child was Aysar Abu Sbeitan, the brother of prisoner Ahmed Abu Sbeitan.
The Palestinian child is shown to be holding up the victory sign while the Israeli occupation forces are arresting him.

Concurrently, the Israeli occupation forces physically assaulted several demonstrators who were protesting against the settlement project in the southern West Bank, detaining three of them for around an hour before releasing them in Al-Khalil.
The PLO's Settlement Resistance Committee had called for the protest to denounce the Israeli settler's seizure of a rainwater harvesting pond in Al-Khalil.
Palestinians are saying the Israeli occupation authorities are being lenient with the aggressor settlers as part of their efforts to increase their settlements in the occupied territories.
