OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (Palestine Foundation Information Center), Scores of extremist Jewish settlers desecrated the Aqsa Mosque in Occupied Jerusalem on Monday morning and later in the afternoon, amid restrictions on the entry of Muslim worshipers to the holy site.
According to al-Qastal News, at least 328 Jewish settlers entered the Mosque through its Maghariba Gate and toured its courtyards under police protection.
310 other people also toured the Mosque’s courtyards under the guise of being tourists.
During their tours at the Islamic holy site, the settlers received lectures from rabbis about the alleged temple mount and a number of them provocatively performed Talmudic prayers, especially in the eastern area of the Mosque and on the staircase leading to the plateau of the Dome of the Rock building.
Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation police imposed movement and entry restrictions on Muslim worshipers at the Aqsa Mosque’s entrances and gates and prevented many of them from entering the holy site.
