OCCUPIED JERUSALEM-Dozens of Jewish settlers escorted by police forces desecrated the Aqsa Mosque in Occupied Jerusalem on Monday morning and later in the afternoon.
According to local sources, at least 152 of settlers entered the Mosque in different groups through its Maghariba Gate and toured its courtyards under tight police protection.
20 students of religious institutes were among the settlers who defiled the Mosque in the morning tours.
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.
Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation police imposed movement 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.
