The attack took place as illegal settlers stormed the Ribat Al-Kurd area which is located north of the alley that leads to the Iron Gate, at the western wall of Al-Aqsa Mosque, led by former member of the Israeli Knesset Yehuda Glick. The area is referred to by Zionists as the ‘Little Western Wall’.
