OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (The Palestine Foundation Pakistan) Scores of extremist Jewish settlers desecrated the Aqsa Mosque in Occupied Jerusalem on Tuesday morning and later in the afternoon.
According to al-Qastal News, at least 537 settlers and 460 tourists entered the Mosque through its Maghariba Gate and toured its courtyards under police protection on the first day of the Sukkot holiday.
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 provocative Talmudic practices.
Local sources also reported that the settlers performed dances and songs in front of the Aqsa Mosque’s Dome of the Rock prayer building.
Social media photos showed settlers carrying plant offerings and performing Talmudic prayers at the Aqsa Mosque’s gates, specifically at the Hitta Gate and King Faisal Gate.
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.
