Saudi King Jibes Israel In Ramadan Message Amid Clashes At Al-Aqsa Mosque; 'End Heinous Crimes'

Israeli police reportedly stopped worshippers from entering the Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied East Jerusalem to mark the start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Videos going viral on social media, show cops baton-charging a few worshippers outside the Mosque. People claim that the cops allowed only women above the age of 40 to pray at the Mosque and not others. Israeli police responded to the claims, saying their were only following government orders. The scuffles come despite Benjamin Netanyahu's assurance last week that Muslim worshippers will be allowed to pray at the Mosque for Ramadan. Meanwhile, Saudi King lashed out at Israel in his Ramadan message and called upon the international community to help 'end heinous crimes' in Gaza. Watch. INTERNATIONAL NEWS
