It was reported that the Turkish citizen woman who reacted was arrested, detained and deported by Israel. It was reported that the Turkish citizen man was released later in the day.
Another Turkish citizen who was detained was banned from entering the Old City area where the Al-Aqsa Mosque is located.
In another incident that took place in the courtyard of the Al-Aqsa Mosque in the evening, a Turkish citizen was beaten by Israeli police who raided the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
It was recorded that after learning that the Israeli police were Turkish, they kicked and beat a person with batons without giving a reason, gave him electric shocks in the legs and then forcibly removed him from the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
