OCCUPIED JERUSALEM (Palestine Foundation Information Center) Dozens of extremist Jewish settlers desecrated the Aqsa Mosque in Occupied Jerusalem on Wednesday morning.
According to local sources, 102 settlers entered the Mosque in groups through its Maghariba Gate and toured its courtyards under tight police protection.
A number of settlers escorted by police officers also gathered in the eastern area of the Mosque and embarked on performing Talmudic prayers.
Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation police imposed movement and entry restrictions on Muslim worshipers at the Aqsa Mosque’s entrances and gates.
The Aqsa Mosque is exposed to daily desecration by Jewish settlers and police forces in the morning and the afternoon except on Fridays and Saturdays.
In a related context, Jerusalemite figures and activists have urged Palestinian citizens to march en masse to the Aqsa Mosque and intensify their presence in its courtyards to protect it against settler desecration.
