Israel and Pakistan crisis escalates

Over 900 Palestinians, injured in confrontations with Israeli forces in the last 10 days over the al-Aqsa Mosque compound, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent.

Palestinian hospitals, already overstretched, fear a large influx of injured if tensions, which erupted on July 14 after Israel closed the sensitive site in occupied East Jerusalem, continue.

The 39-year-old Mohammed Ismeal, currently being treated at Al Maqassid hospital in East Jerusalem, was apparently shot with a stun grenade in the head, which left him drifting in and out of consciousness.

They also highlighted that most, injuries inflicted by the Israeli forces were from rubber-coated steel bullets. International human rights groups have long condemned Israel's use of such bullets.
