The Israeli occupation troops stormed Friday al-Aqsa Mosque and banned the worshippers who are less than 50 years old from praying.

The occupation troops also clashed with the Palestinians at the mosque and in different areas.

Forty-six Palestinians were injured in clashes in the central West Bank on Friday as Israeli occupation forces assaulted widespread demonstrations in solidarity with the besieged Gaza Strip.

Demonstrations took place in Budrus, Nilin, and Ofer prison near Ramallah, as well as in the village of Biddu near Jerusalem.

Nine Palestinians were injured with rubber-coated steel bullets, and several were injured as a result of suffocation by tear-gas grenades during clashes near the prison of Ofer, west of Ramallah.

Palestinian demonstrators headed towards Ofer in a march after Friday prayers and clashes erupted as soon as they approached the area after Israeli forces fired tear-gas grenades at the march.

Israeli occupation forces also shot tear-gas grenades at journalists who were covering the march.

Thirty Palestinians suffered from excessive tear gas inhalation during clashes with Israeli occupation forces in the village of Biddu northwest of Jerusalem.
