Dozens of Jewish settlers break into Aqsa Mosque

Dozens of Jewish settlers forced their way into the Aqsa Mosque under tight police protection on Wednesday morning.

The Islamic Endowments Department in Jerusalem affirmed that scores of settlers entered the Mosque in different groups through its Maghariba Gate and toured its courtyards.

During their tours, the settlers received lectures from rabbis about the alleged temple mount, and a number of them provocatively performed different Talmudic prayers in the Mosque’s eastern area.

Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation police imposed movement and entry restrictions on Muslim worshipers at the Aqsa Mosque’s entrances and gates.

Palestinian online campaigns have been launched to intensify Palestinian citizens’ presence at the Aqsa and confront Israel’s increasing Judaization plans.

The Aqsa Mosque is exposed to daily desecration by Jewish settlers and police forces in the morning and afternoon, except on Fridays and Saturdays
