This comes as tensions escalate between Israelis and Palestinians over the regime’s imposition of restrictive measures on the entry of worshipers into the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in East Jerusalem al-Quds.


The troops were in addition to hundreds of forces already deployed to the holy site.


The report came hours after at least four Palestinian people lost their lives during clashes in the occupied Palestinian lands.


The new restrictive measures have seen the regime in Israel install metal detectors at entry points to the al-Aqsa Mosque compound.


Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas ordered the suspension of all official contact with Israel until it removed the metal detectors.


The Tel Aviv regime has tried to change the demographic makeup of Jerusalem al-Quds over the past decades by constructing settlements, destroying historical sites and expelling the local Palestinian population.


Palestinians say the Israeli measures are aimed at paving the way for the Judaization of the city.  


More than 300 Palestinians have lost their lives at the hands of Israeli forces in the ongoing tensions since the beginning of October 2015.


The al-Aqsa Mosque compound is a flashpoint Islamic site, which is also holy to Jews. The mosque is Islam’s third holiest site after Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia.



It is worthy to mention that Imam Khomeini advised all relevant Iranian authorities to raise the Palestinian issue at international forums and on the world arena.



Some historic quotes by Imam regarding the Palestinian issue come as following:



“All must know that the superpowers aim in creating Israel does not end in the occupation of Palestine. They plan, Heaven forbid, extending the fate of Palestine to all Arab countries. “



“Do not the authorities of the nation see or know that diplomatic talks with history's criminal and powerful politicians cannot save Lebanon, Palestine or quds and the number of crimes and oppressions increases daily. “



“Neither the Iranian Muslim nation, nor any other Muslims and, as a matter of fact, no open-minded individual, will recognize Israel. We shall always support our Arab and Palestinian brothers. “



“The issue of quds is not a private or personal issue. It is neither the exclusive problem of one country nor a present-day problem of all Muslims. Rather, it is a phenomenon concerning the monotheists and faithful people of all ages-past, present and future. “
