Israeli forces attacked Tuesday morning female worshippers in al Aqsa Mosque who tried to deter extremist Israeli settlers from storming into the holy shrine.

Local sources said policemen beat women prompting worshipers and Aqsa guards to intervene and clash with the occupation forces.

Three women were arrested and released later on.

Al Aqsa Mosque is attacked almost daily by Israeli settlers and policemen in attempt to fully control the Islamic shrine.
