Female Israeli soldiers storm Al-Aqsa compound

RAMALLAH — A group of 100 female Israeli soldiers stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque Compound, a Palestinian foundation said Tuesday.
The Al-Aqsa Foundation for Endowment and Heritage Sheikh said that the soldiers in their uniforms stormed the complex late Monday through Al-Magharebah gate.
The foundation said that the soldiers were divided into two or more smaller groups that toured the plaza. It added that the groups performed military march in the Muslims' third holiest shrine. It added that the soldiers “started provoking the Muslim worshipers.”
The foundation warned that the daily storming of the complex is part of the Israeli measures to Judaize what has been left of occupied Jerusalem “by intensifying the

The Israeli occupation forces Tuesday prevented entry of construction material and plants into the West Bank village of Beit Iksa, a Palestinian official said.
Kamal Hababeh, head of Beit Iksa village council, said the Israeli soldiers, manning the only checkpoint leading to the village to the northwest of occupied Jerusalem, prevented the entry of the material and the plants under the pretext that Palestinian activists and their foreign supporters “use them in anti-occupation protests, re-erecting of the Al-Karamah (Tent Village) and planting Palestinian lands near the Jewish settlement of Ramot.”
Hababeh added that the soldiers were allowing only the residents of Beit Iksa to enter the village.
The official said that the soldiers also “bar the garbage truck from entering the village for the seventh consecutive day.”
The development comes days after a group of 50 Palestinians re-erected tents at Al-Karamah camp which was erected nearly two weeks ago in the area between Beit Iksa and Lifta in protest of Israeli settlement construction plans in the area. The Israeli forces dismantled the outpost and evicted all activists from the camp last week.
“The idea of building this village extension is to protect legally-owned Palestinian lands and for it to be the second such village built to protect from growing Israeli efforts to Judaize Jerusalem,” Hababeh said, referring to the Bab Al-Shams tent village near Jerusalem.
The dismantling of the Al-Karamah camp came just days after Israeli security forces dismantled the Bab Al-Shams which was erected in E1, the bitterly contested tract between occupied Jerusalem and the settlement of Ma'aleh Adumim.
The Palestinian activists had been targeting E1 to protest Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Nov. 30 decision to advance plans to build 3,500 Jewish homes on the site.
