OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (Palestine Foundation Information Center), Scores of extremist Jewish settlers desecrated the Aqsa Mosque in Occupied Jerusalem on Tuesday morning and later in the afternoon, amid tight restrictions on the entry of Muslim worshipers to the holy site.
According to local sources, at least 67 settlers entered the Mosque through its Maghariba Gate and toured its courtyards under police protection in the morning.
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 in the eastern area of the Mosque and at 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.
The Aqsa Mosque is exposed to daily desecration by Jewish settlers and police forces in the morning and afternoon, except on Fridays and Saturdays.
