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, dozens of settlers entered the Mosque in the morning through its Maghariba Gate and toured its courtyards under police protection.
During their tours at the Islamic holy site, the settlers received lectures from rabbis about the alleged temple mount and a number of them performed Talmudic prayers and other provocative practices during their tours.
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 Israeli police have recently escalated restrictions on Muslims ahead of the holy month of Ramadan, issuing orders that ban many Palestinians from Jerusalem and 1948 occupied Palestine from entering the Aqsa Mosque.
