jerusalem for his spring, his up to speed with what's been happening this morning. natasha at the alex m. oscar bumped. well right now there are jewish groups inside b, l oxide. compound members of the groups include jewish settlers and ultra nationalists and zionist use earlier today. prior to their arrival. it would have been the 1st time that a non muslims would have been allowed into the ox a compound since the violence we saw on friday. but earlier, prior to the hours, the 3 hour time window in which non jews can enter the, i'm sorry, non muslims can enter the ox, a compound, israeli police say that they went in to the compound because a barricade of sorts had been formed with stones and other debris that was blocking the entrance that non muslims used to enter the compound. the palestinian red crescent says so far there are 2 injuries. one person was hit with rubber of rubber
8:03 am
bullets. the other was beaten. you might be able to see smoke behind me. we can certainly hear sporadically some stun grenades and we have been hearing that since i arrived about 45 minutes ago. but it appears so far that things have been com, just to give people a bit of a broader understanding about what these jewish groups are doing inside the compound. it is prohibited for them to pray or perform any kind of rituals. that would be, by the way, a and even bigger met would create an even bigger must be considered a real provocation. but they do have rights to go inside the compound. they do so though, under a very tense atmosphere, on friday, more than 150 people were injured. more than 400 people arrested including children, human rights group say that was the largest on mass arrest in one hour, one location in more than 20 years. there is
8:04 am
a real sense of outrage and anger because going into the violence that happened on friday. these groups there for to fringe groups is a group called returned to the temple mount, which is what use, which is what i would use referred to a site in the alex a compound it's wholly to jews, had been offering a cash prize for anyone who would go inside and sacrifice a goat that didn't happen, but it went viral on social media. hamas was calling on palestinians to mobilize and march to alex the mosque. and of course what we saw on friday was the confrontation, police say the confrontation began when a masked men entered ok. so mosque and began throwing stones and fire crackers, hollis indians dispute that sequence of events. as you say, natasha, this is of course, a very important site for both muslims and jews. and this is coming at
8:05 am
a time of tensions of force between israelis and palestinians in other parts of the occupied territory. exactly. sorry, you'll have to forgive me if i keep turning around because i i'm hearing a bang bang and i just want to. okay, so another okay, i'm being told that another group of either jewish settlers or ultra nationalist jews have now entered the compound. but you mentioned yes, the context since march 22nd in israel there were 4 attacks and 14 israelis died then the is really launched and operation and into the west bank and a since then about 2 dozen palestinians have been killed. dozens of people have been arrested. some of the people killed were unarmed wrong place, wrong time, and it is created a lot of outrage. and there is definitely a concern that we are keep. we keep escalating an escalating and that we may very
8:06 am
well reach a point that was reached last year to remind our viewers in may of last year. there was an 11 day war between uh huh. the group that governs the gaza strip and the israelis in that war more than $230.00 palestinians were killed about a dozen israelis killed. and people on the gaza strip are still rebuilding and trying to recover from the trauma of 11 days of air strikes. so the concern, of course, is that it will we be moving toward a real escalation thus far, hamas has condemned. the israelis has supported the response by the palestinian supported widespread mobilization and calls to quote, defend ox, a mosque. but what happened on friday, people are still quite upset about fully palestinian a presidency. and officials say that the violence was tantamount to quote
8:07 am
a declaration of war. you mentioned that another group of jewish settlers had entered the compound this morning and natasha. and we did see some pictures just a few moments ago of a group of people entering the compound police. in there it seems, is dre the police have entered this holy site. why are they not preventing a jewish worship as from going further into the compound of all of that was well, jewish people are never allowed inside the actual l awesome mosque, but on the site a jewish a people worship the what they say is the temple mount and some of the what we're seeing here, i mentioned some of these right wing ultra nationalist groups. they believed that a 3rd temple should be constructed in the compound and this movement to be allowed to pray, which i said is banned right now is also gaining steam. it kind of has gone from
8:08 am
the fringes of israeli says, what has society over the years to a much more vocal group of people making these demands. there are actually people in the us, it who supports some of these groups. and again, this is extremely inflammatory to palestinians, and muslims who believe that no one should be allowed to go inside and pray that is a the entire compound and not just the mosque is a muslim holy site, the 3rd holiest in a slab. so just to clarify and emp i and i apologize for asking you again this morning. i have been out groups entering the compound but not the actual i lack some mosque, right? well what the, what was? absolutely, and again, that would be considered a red line, a cataclysmic event if it happens. all right, natasha. thank you very much for that. of course, we'll keep a close eye on the situation in occupied east jerusalem. a with you throughout the
