WEST BANK (Dispatches) – The Zionist regime’s troops have rushed into the compound of the Dome of the Rock and mosques at the Temple Mount after a firebomb was allegedly thrown at a police outpost located at the holy site, Haaretz reported.
There has been no official information on casualties, but The Jerusalem Post has reported that at least one police officer has been seriously injured as result of the incident.
The incident has reportedly led to clashes at the site between  worshipers and police, who have closed off all gates to the Temple Mount and to the Old City.   Zionist settlers have sealed a mosque in the Old City of the occupied al-Quds, a month after a United Nations report revealed that violence and vandalism committed by Zionists against Palestinians and their property have increased since the beginning of this year.
According to a report by the Palestinian Ma’an news agency, Zionist settlers spread an adhesive substance mostly on the lock of the door of Sheikh Makki Mosque earlier in the day, virtually making the door sealed shut.
The report, citing those responsible for maintaining the mosque, said the police were immediately informed of the incident and later on the substance was removed with some effort and the door reopened before taking some pictures of what was described as an act of vandalism against Muslims.  
Last month, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said in a report, which covered the period from January 29 to February 11 this year, showed a weekly average of seven Israeli attacks resulting in injuries or property damage compared to an average of five in the same period in 2018 and three in 2017.
It said that the Zionist settlers also attempted to torch a local mosque in Deir Dibwan Village in Ramallah during the period.
According to the report, 425 Palestinian-owned trees had also been vandalized by Israeli settlers in three separate incidents in al-Khalil (Hebron) in the southern West Bank and in Jalud Village in Nablus, located in the northern West Bank.
